I've been using Betnovate N for over three months to treat dark spots from acne on my face. But whenever I stop using it, my skin becomes itchy and starts burning again. I really want to find something that'll help me stop using it without those side effects. Do you have any suggestions or recommendations for medications that could help?

I've been dealing with some intense skin itching at night ever since I recovered from dengue fever a week ago. It's mostly on my hands and legs and feels more like bump skin rather than a red rash. Could this itching be related to my recent dengue, or should I be worried about another skin issue? I'm really concerned and could use some guidance.

The itching you're experiencing, particularly at night, with bump-like skin on hands and legs, could be a post-dengue complication, but it's essential to consult a dermatologist to rule out other skin conditions, such as urticaria, pruritus, or allergic reactions, and seek guidance on appropriate treatment.

I'm really struggling with ringworm on my stomach, both thighs, and face. I've tried so many medicines like Hydil, Allegra, Terbinaforce cream, and Nuforce GM cream, but nothing seems to be working. I'm feeling kinda lost and worried. Do you have any advice or ideas on what I could try next?

That could be fungal infection which needs both oral and topical antifungal medications and personal hygiene is more important for such condition.
