I've been struggling with pimples on my face and decided to visit the doctor, who recommended the Melacare cream. I started using it, but now I'm dealing with some side effects like redness, itching, and even skin lightening. The tricky part is if I stop applying it, my face breaks out in pimples almost immediately. I'm really stuck on what to do next. Could you suggest any alternative remedies or a way to stop using this cream without making my skin issues worse?

View allI'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 had a bandaid on my finger for a couple of days because of a cut, which seemed to have healed. When I took the bandaid off today though, my finger looked kinda weird. What could be going on? Should I be worried or do something about it?
it's likely that the skin under the band-aid has experienced skin irritation or contact dermatitis, possibly due to adhesive or friction; apply a topical antibiotic ointment and cover with a breathable dressing to promote healing, and consider switching to hypoallergenic band-aids or alternative wound dressings in the future.
