I'm dealing with a burn from hot water and I'm not sure who I should see for this - a physician or a dermatologist. I've attached a picture of the burn for reference. Also, I'm currently using Silverex Ionic ointment. Any advice on what to do next?

I'm dealing with some issues on my skin that have me pretty concerned. It started with red ringworms on my buttocks, and now they're spreading to my thighs and other parts of my body. I've tried using griseofulvin antifungal soap and cream, but it doesn't seem to be helping. Could you give me some advice on what to do next or suggest any other treatments?

no problem you take

I've been dealing with this really annoying itch on my scalp for over 1520 days now. I've tried dandruff shampoos and even mixed tea tree oil with coconut oil, but nothing seems to help. There's definitely no lice or dandruff, and thankfully, my hair isn't falling out in clumps or anything, just the usual few strands. I'm starting to think this all began after I used a certain type of mehndi on my hair. Could that be the cause? What should I do next?

That could be due to dryness or fungal infection,needs evaluation,visit Dermatologist for the same
