I've been struggling with ringworm under my breast and near the vaginal and seat area for a while now. Ive tried a bunch of creams, but nothing seems to work. Its been about six months, and now my baby has it too, and so does my husband. Its really itchy and there are these red circles. What else can I do to get rid of this? Can you suggest anything that might help cure it for good?

Oral antifungal medications like Fluconazole (Diflucan) may be prescribed by a doctor. Make sure to keep the affected areas clean and dry, and avoid sharing personal items to prevent further spread of the infection.

I've been dealing with lichen planus pigmentosus and it's left some noticeable acne on my face. I'm really into makeup and I've been wondering if it's okay to use it to cover up these spots. I just want to make sure I'm not going to make things worse or do something that could harm my skin. Could using makeup cause any issues with acne from lichen planus pigmentosus? What should I consider before applying anything?

It is generally safe to apply makeup to hide acne caused by lichen planus pigmentosus. However, it is important to choose non-comedogenic and hypoallergenic makeup products to avoid exacerbating the acne. You can use a gentle cleanser, apply a non-comedogenic moisturizer, and then use a concealer or foundation to cover the acne. Additionally, you can consider using topical treatments prescribed by your dermatologist to treat the underlying lichen planus pigmentosus.

I'm noticing a black spot on my left index finger that's super hard, and it's got this numb feeling. There aren't any other weird symptoms going on, but I'm wondering what could be causing this. Any ideas?

The black spot on your index finger, accompanied by hardness and numbness, could be caused by various factors, including a benign growth like a wart or seborrheic keratosis, a skin condition like melanosis or acral lentiginosis, or even a more serious condition like skin cancer, so it's essential to consult a dermatologist for a proper examination, diagnosis, and appropriate treatment.
