I've been dealing with whiteheads on my nose, and I've made a habit of picking at them. Recently, though, the skin on my nose started peeling, and now it's looking darker compared to the surrounding areas, plus there's this horizontal dark line running across it. I'm worried and wondering: will my skin eventually recover from this on its own? Should I be doing something different to help it heal?

View allI've developed a skin rash that began on my inner thighs and now has spread to my shoulders, ankles, buttocks, and the side of my stomach. It started out red and has turned black, with little itchy bumps. Should I be worried about this, and what could be causing it?
It sounds like you may be experiencing a fungal skin infection, such as tinea corporis (ringworm). I recommend using an antifungal cream like Clotrimazole 1% cream. Apply a thin layer to the affected areas twice a day for 2-4 weeks. Additionally, you can take an oral antihistamine like Cetirizine 10mg once daily to help with the itching. Make sure to keep the affected areas clean and dry, and avoid sharing towels or clothing to prevent spreading the infection.

I've had this pimple on my cheek for a few days, and now the area around it, like an inch or so, is swollen, red, and a bit painful. Could you tell me what might be going on and any recommendations for treatment?
The treatment of acne differs according to the grade of involvement. Some people have more oilyness on the face which results in breakouts. After completing treatment for controlling the active breakouts, tablets can be stopped and creams need to be continued to prevent recurrence. Diet and lifestyle modifications are also important. Please don't do any self treatment such as over the counter Steroid creams. Don't burst the pimples with your fingers as it can result in ugly scars. The marks and pores left behind after the pimples heal can also be treated
