I've been dealing with a stubborn fungus infection on my thighs. I've tried several ointments like Quadridrum and Ringguard, but they didn't help much. Fourderm seemed to work for a bit, but then the infection came back. Recently, someone suggested Derobin, but it just gave me allergies and made my skin turn red and painful. I'm really worried about what's going on. Do you have any advice?

It seems like you have been experiencing a recurrent fungal infection on your thighs. Since Fourderm worked well for you initially but the infection recurred, you may need a stronger antifungal medication. I recommend trying a combination antifungal and steroid cream like Lotriderm. Apply a thin layer of Lotriderm cream on the affected area twice a day for 2 weeks. If the symptoms persist or worsen, please consult a dermatologist for further evaluation and management.

View allI've been using this thing called hydroquinone tretinoin baby face num.2 and my face got really red after just three days. I stopped using it, but then my skin started peeling and stayed red for a few more days. Now I've got this really bad rash on my face, which has never happened before. I've always had clear skin and never any acne on my forehead, just some tiny pimples on my cheeks. But now, these small red pimples are all over my face. How can I get my skin back to normal?
Dermat opinion is advised to the patient.

I've been experiencing some side effects on my neck from using melameate cream consistently. There are these dark, long-shaped spots and it's starting to itch. How can I treat this? And if I decide to use the cream again, should I use it continuously or take breaks? If breaks are needed, how often should I take them?
You may be experiencing a reaction to the melamet cream. To treat the dark long shaped spots and itching on your neck, you can use a mild steroid cream like hydrocortisone 1% cream twice a day for 1-2 weeks. Additionally, you can take an oral antihistamine like cetirizine 10mg once daily to help with the itching. It may be best to switch to a different medication if the current one is giving you adverse reactions.

Do you think it's effective for this kind of issue? I did visit a skincare specialist, but it didn't seem to help much. What do you suggest I should do next?
Betnovate cream may not be effective in removing black spots.
