I've been using both Clearz Ultra and Clearz Max as suggested by my doctor. He mentioned stopping the Max cream after the course and then starting the Clearz Ultra. I'm supposed to use the Max cream on alternate nights for 15 days and then take a 15-day break. Can I use the Clearz Ultra with Kojic and Arbutin long-term, like forever? Is it safe to do that for dark spots? Also, if my pigmentation comes back, is it okay to start using the Max cream again regularly? About using Clearz Ultra at night for a long time, is that advisable? And with Max cream, does it make a difference if I put it on for just an hour or leave it all night? Usually, I just sleep with it on without washing it off. I'm really curious and a bit worried about how to handle this skincare routine. Could you help me understand what's safe and effective?

I'm really concerned about these red rings that keep appearing under my thighs. They seem to go away when I use the cream, but as soon as I stop, they come back. Occasionally, I also feel some itching on my lower back and under my hips. The only thing that seems to be working is Dermiford. Other creams didn't have any effect, but the Doxypal DR is showing some results too. Could you help me understand what's going on and how to get rid of this problem?

The recurring red rings under your thighs, accompanied by occasional itching on your lower back and under hips, may indicate a fungal infection, such as ringworm or candidiasis; the effectiveness of Dermiford and Doxypal DR creams suggests a fungal or bacterial origin; consider consulting a dermatologist to confirm the diagnosis and recommend a comprehensive treatment plan, which may include antifungal or antibacterial medications, in addition to topical cream

I'm having these irritated sores or bumps, kind of like cysts, near my anus and in the butt crack. They've been there for a week, hurt, sometimes itch, and they release pus. They started as white pimple-like bumps. It gets worse when I sit or if urine gets on them. I noticed them after I shaved and wore dry pads that ended up rubbing against that area a couple of days after shaving. Could this be some kind of diaper rash or something more serious?

This could be fungal infection u need to evaluate with your Dermatologist and get appropriate treatment with oral antifungal medications and topical lotions,once the infection is resolved your hair fall would come down,I suggest you not to use minoxidil with active fungal infection,above this your personal hygiene care is more important.

I've got this boil or phoda at the start of my hip line that just won't heal. Every day, pus and a little bit of blood come out of it. I've tried using different antiseptic creams and even took amoxicillin tablets, but nothing seems to be working. I also have diabetes, but it's under control. What could be causing this issue, and how can I get it to heal?
