I've been dealing with a stubborn fungal infection on my skin for about 6 months now. I've started using Fourderm, and while it seemed to work initially, the infection comes back after just a couple of days. I'm frustrated and unsure of what to do next. Is there something I'm missing or another treatment I should try?

Given the recurring nature of your fungal infection, consider consulting a dermatologist to reassess the treatment plan; meanwhile, continue using Fourderm cream as directed, and complement it with additional measures: keep the affected area clean and dry, wear loose cotton clothing, avoid sharing personal items, and apply an antifungal powder or spray to prevent moisture accumulation, which can help reduce the frequency of recurrence.

View allI've been dealing with some pretty bad acne and breakouts on my face, shoulders, and back since I had chickenpox about three years ago. Before that, I never really had any issues with acne, so I'm super frustrated. I went to a bunch of doctors and tried different creams and tablets, but nothing seems to work. It's been a few years now, and every time one breakout heals, another one pops up. Could this be connected to the way the chickenpox was treated back then, or is there something else going on? I'm really worried because my face is a mess right now and I'm not sure what else to do. Any advice or solutions for dealing with acne after chickenpox?

I've been using Cosmelite cream for about a month now, as my dermatologist recommended it. But I've noticed that once I stop using it, my skin turns very dark. I'm worried and a bit confused. Is there a chance that this cream could cause skin cancer?
The risk of skin cancer from Cosmelite cream is considered low when used as prescribed by a doctor for a short duration.
