I've been experiencing this really strange itching all over my body, like on my chest, hands, neck, back, and shoulders. The thing is, these marks just show up on my skin like scratch marks, but I swear I didn't scratch myself. It's kind of weird because after some time, they just disappear when the itching stops. I'm starting to get worried about what this could be. Do you have any idea what's going on?

I'm really struggling with this persistent ringworm infection. It's been 8 years now, and I'm still not able to get it under control. I've seen more than 8 doctors, tried all sorts of heavy medication, antibiotics, creams, and liquids, but nothing seems to last more than a month. I usually get some relief, but then it just comes back. It's so frustrating and I'm desperate for some help. Any advice or suggestions would be really appreciated.

I've got this dry, light brown patch under my eye, and the doctor suggested using fusidic acid and mometasone furoate cream. I'm a bit worried because my skin is really sensitive. Could this cream cause any additional problems? I've read some reviews and just want to make sure it's safe for me.

do not use that cream without doctors advice as it contains steroid,consume,vit B supplements and mineral rich foods taht would help you and also visit dermatologist for appropriate management
