I've been using Betnovate GM cream for fairness for the past three years, mostly applying a thick layer at night. Recently, I noticed hair growth on my face and that my skin was getting thinner. When I looked up the side effects, I realized what might be going on. Since I stopped using the cream, my skin's become super dry, flaky, dull, itchy, and covered in red bumps. I'm really worried about this. What can I do to fix my skin condition?

I'm noticing that my skin color changes a lot throughout the day. Sometimes it looks darker, other times it's lighter. And it's not just the colormy skin goes from being really hydrated and glowing to dull and dehydrated, all within the same day. I'm a bit worried and curious about why this is happening. Could there be an underlying cause for these fast and frequent changes?

I had minor skin surgery and my doctor recommended a CBP test. The results show my RBC and RDW are high while MCH, MCV, and MCHC are lower than normal. I don't have any concerning symptoms and consider myself healthy should I be worried about these results?

Your RBC and RDW being high, along with low MCH, MCV, and MCHC, might suggest some mild anemia or other factors affecting red blood cells. Since you're not experiencing symptoms, its likely not a serious concern, but it's a good idea to follow up with your haematologist to understand the context of these results.

I'm dealing with some serious itching and irritation around my pubic area, and I'm really worried. There are these white or grey spots with light pink in between, and the skin looks different from the surrounding area. It seems like this is spreading to my groin and even affecting my scrotum, which also feels infected. It's really covering a good part of the area between my thighs, and the itching is just unbearable. What could this be, and how should I handle it?

That looks like fungal infection which needs oral and topical antifungal medication and personal hygiene is the main stay, visit Dermatologist for appropriate management.
