I've been using Lumaglo for about three weeks, and now my skin has turned red. Plus, it's started peeling off in small layers, leaving these white patches. It's almost like the affected areas are turning black too. I'm really worried about what's happening. Could you please help me understand what's going on and what I should do about it?

View allI'm experiencing a bad smell from my groin area, kind of like sweaty socks, especially when I'm sitting down. This just started about a week ago. A couple of months ago, I had a fungal infection around my anus and did a full course of medication from my doctor. I was prescribed ITZHH capsules and Livafin cream. Right now, I'm using Candid 1 clotrimazole soap, but it doesn't seem to be helping. What should I do?
I recommend adding an antifungal cream such as Terbinafine (brand name Lamisil) twice daily to the affected area. Make sure to keep the area clean and dry, wear loose-fitting clothing, and avoid tight underwear to help prevent further irritation. If the symptoms persist or worsen, please follow up with your doctor for further evaluation and management.

I'm looking for a new skincare product since I stopped using Skinlite about a month ago. Can you recommend something that helps maintain skin fairness? I'm a model, so it's really important for my career. Would appreciate any advice you could share. Thanks!

I've been noticing these dark spots on my upper body, like on my shoulders, upper chest, under my arms, upper back, and even on top of my arms. It itches a lot whenever I start sweating. I'm really curious and a bit worried about what's causing this. Could it be something serious or is it a common skin issue? What's the best way to deal with this itchiness and the spots?
Could be a condition called Tinea Versicolor. This is a fungal infection of the skin that can result in discolored patches. You can use over-the-counter antifungal creams such as Clotrimazole cream applied twice daily for 2-4 weeks. In severe cases, oral antifungal medications like Fluconazole may be prescribed by a doctor. Make sure to keep the affected areas clean and dry, and avoid excessive sweating.
