I've been using Panderm plus cream for the last six months, and it made my skin really fair. But now I'm starting to get a lot of pimples on my face. I'm worried because I read somewhere online that using Panderm plus for too long can make your skin permanently sensitive to the sun. Do you think my face will clear up and become pimple-free again?

Panderm plus cream contains clobetasol, neomycin, and miconazole. Prolonged use of clobetasol can lead to skin thinning, acne, and increased sensitivity to the sun. To treat the pimples on your face, you can use a gentle cleanser and apply a topical acne treatment containing benzoyl peroxide or salicylic acid. You can also consult a dermatologist for further evaluation and management.

I'm really worried about these garlic burns on my face - are they going to be temporary or could they end up being permanent scars? How long does it usually take for something like this to heal? And if you have any natural remedies that could help, I'd really appreciate it.

Kojiglo cream for local application for atleast 3 weeks is advised.

I'm dealing with a ringworm issue on both sides around my thighs. It's been going on for about a year now. I used terbinaforce, but the problem just comes back after a few days. What should I do to finally get rid of it for good?

I've noticed some black lines appearing on a few of my fingernails over the past few months, and now they're on about two or three fingers. I'm pretty worried and curious about what this might mean. Can you shed some light on what could be causing these lines and how I might be able to treat them? I'd really appreciate any advice you can give.
