I've been having some trouble after shaving because I used a bad razor, and now my skin has these little pimple-like spots. What can I do to get rid of them?

To alleviate razor bump-like spots (folliculitis or ingrown hairs), try these remedies:

Home Remedies

  1. Apply warm compresses to reduce inflammation.

  2. Exfoliate with gentle scrubs or alpha-hydroxy acids (AHAs).

  3. Use tea tree oil or aloe vera gel to soothe and calm skin.

  4. Apply hydrocortisone cream (1%) for 3-5 days. Precautions

  5. Avoid tight clothing.

  6. Exfoliate carefully.

  7. Shave in the direction of hair growth.

  8. Use a clean razor and shaving cream.

I'm dealing with a really stubborn fungal infection that I've had for over 4 months now. Initially, I thought it was just a rash that would disappear on its own, but it resembled ringworm and has all spread over the lower parts of my bum. The itching is unbearable. Around 2 months ago, I noticed a ringworm on my stomachit was small at first but now it's grown quite a bit and started spreading. I'm also seeing new ones popping up near my genital area. I'm really worried about this and need some guidance on what to do. I've started using Cosvate GM because a friend who had a similar issue suggested itis this safe to use for my condition?

I'm really concerned about a new mole I found behind my left ear. I saw a dermatologist and she told me its not cancerous, thankfully. She gave me a mole removal cream, and I've been using it for a few days now. It looks like it's getting smaller, which is a relief, but it barely itches. Im still worried if there's any risk of cancer. Also, if it completely fades away, should I still be worried down the line?
