I've been using Skinlite for a couple of days now, and I'm really worried because the skin around my black spots has gotten worse. It's turned red and then turned black. What can I do to get my skin back to normal?

You can apply a mild corticosteroid cream like Hydrocortisone 1% cream on the affected areas twice a day for 1 week to reduce inflammation. Additionally, use a gentle moisturizer like Cetaphil lotion to keep the skin hydrated. Make sure to protect your skin from sun exposure by using a broad-spectrum sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher. If the symptoms persist or worsen, consult a dermatologist for further evaluation and management.

View allI'm a bit worried about the MINOZ ER 45 that my doctor gave me for my acne. I'm supposed to take it for 6 months. Can you tell me if it's a steroid or just an antibiotic?
Gradually reduce the use of Panderm Plus, switch to a gentle moisturizer, and consider using acne treatment options that dont involve steroids. Consulting with a dermatologist is always a great next step to find a tailored solution for your skin.

I've been dealing with ringworm on the inner part of my thigh for about 9 months now. It seems to heal when I use medicine, but then it just comes back over and over. It even flares up after I itch it. I've tried using IT Mac 200, Terbest, and a bunch of other antifungal creams, but it keeps returning. I'm really frustrated and wondering if this is something that's going to stick around forever, or if there's anything else I can do to finally get rid of it. Any advice?
Chronic Fungal infection needs long-term treatment, personal hygiene measures are most important to cure this disease, practice special care towards affected area.

I'm really struggling with acne right now and I'm curious about what actually causes it and how I can treat it. Also, I've heard mixed things about whether masturbation can cause acne and would love some clarity on that. Can you help me understand this better?
Acne is caused by a combination of factors including excess oil production, clogged hair follicles, bacteria, and inflammation. To treat acne, you can use topical treatments containing benzoyl peroxide or salicylic acid. In more severe cases, oral medications like isotretinoin may be prescribed. It is important to maintain a good skincare routine and avoid picking or squeezing acne lesions. There is no scientific evidence to suggest that masturbation causes acne.
