I've been noticing these black dots on my chest and stomach for the past couple of months. They're not painful or itchy, but I'm curious and a bit worried about what they might be. I usually sleep without a shirt, so I'm wondering if that might be related. Could you help me understand what these might be and why they've appeared?

View allI'm dealing with a boil on my arm, and it just won't stop leaking pus. Should I put anything on it or just let it be? Is it better to keep it open or should I cover it with a band-aid and wait for it to get better? I'm a bit worried about what to do.

I'm struggling with a persistent fungal infection on my skin. I'm using NuforceGM cream but the itching just won't go away. It looks like a ring with red spots. I've been dealing with this for quite a while. What do you think would help?
It seems like the fungal infection is not responding well to the current treatment. I recommend trying a combination antifungal cream like Lotrimin Ultra cream. Apply it twice a day on the affected area for at least 2 weeks. Additionally, you can take an oral antifungal medication like Fluconazole 150mg once a week for 4 weeks to treat the infection from within. Make sure to keep the affected area clean and dry, and avoid wearing tight clothing to help with the healing process. Listen
