I've been using Deriva BPO gel for my moderate acne, but after a week, I started to notice some redness. Now, the redness has gone down, but there's still this dark area around my mouth. Could this be hyperpigmentation from the gel, or might it be caused by something else?

I've been dealing with white bumps on my back and front area after waxing, and it's been about three days now. They're painful and super itchy. Do you have any advice on what might help?

You may be experiencing folliculitis, which is inflammation of the hair follicles. You can try using an over-the-counter hydrocortisone cream to reduce the inflammation and itching. Additionally, you can take an oral antihistamine like cetirizine to help with the itching. To prevent infection, you can apply an antibiotic ointment like Neosporin.

I've been dealing with these ringworms for a year now, and they're on both sides of my butt. It's really frustrating because nothing seems to help. The itching just won't stop, but normally I try not to scratch and use a dryer to calm it a bit. What else can I do to finally get some relief?

That could be Fungal infection, maintain personal hygiene and visit Dermatologist for evaluation and appropriate treatment.
