I've got this black spot on my shoulder and back that we call Bhabuti in my local language. I'm really not sure how it started, but it definitely spreads more when the summer months come around. Can you provide any advice or solutions on how to deal with it?

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.

View allI've been struggling with ringworm for the past year, and my doctor recommended itraconazole and griseofulvin, but they haven't helped at all. What should I do now?
Consider consulting a dermatologist for reassessment, as itraconazole and griseofulvin are effective treatments; alternatives or additions may include topical creams (e.g., terbinafine, clotrimazole), oral antifungals (e.g., fluconazole, posaconazole), or laser therapy; also, ensure you're using an antifungal soap, keeping the affected area clean and dry, and avoiding sharing personal items to prevent reinfection.

I've been dealing with scalp itching for a while and have been taking Minoz 100 tablets to help with it. It's frustrating because whenever I stop taking the medicine, the itching comes back after a few days. I'm worried about having to rely on these tablets forever. Is there a way to stop taking them and still manage the itching? Any advice would be appreciated.
t's great that you're looking to explore alternatives to long-term medication. Minoz 100 tablets and scalp itching: Minoz 100 tablets contain minocycline, an antibiotic commonly used to treat various skin conditions, including acne and rosacea. While it may help alleviate scalp itching, it's essential to address the underlying cause of the itching. Why itching returns after stopping the medication: The itching may return after stopping the medication due to: 1. Underlying condition: The root cause of the itching, such as dandruff, eczema, or psoriasis, may still be present. 2. Dependence on the medication: Your body may have become accustomed to the medication, leading to a rebound effect when it's stopped. 3. Hormonal or environmental factors: Hormonal fluctuations, stress, or environmental changes can trigger itching.

So I've been using this Alpha Arbutin serum for almost 78 days now to help with pigmentation and dark spots around my lips. It's from this brand called The Minimalist. I usually get breakouts now and then, but I've noticed since using it, I'm getting more red pimples with white stuff inside. Do you think the serum could be causing this? Or is it just a coincidence? I'm just really curious if I should stop using it or if there might be another cause.
stop using it and consult a healthcare professional to get an accurate diagnosis and proper treatment.
