I've got this ringworm on my face, and even though Ive been using cloben g as my doctor friend suggested, it went away initially but came back bigger in the same spot. Is there something oral I can take to get rid of this fungus for good? I'm really worried it might keep spreading. What should I do?

I have some cut marks on my hand and they're really bothering me. How can I get rid of them? Also, what's the cost for surgery to remove these marks? I'm feeling pretty upset about how they look and would like to know my options as soon as possible.

For older scars like yours, besides laser treatment, you can consider using topical silicone gel sheets or silicone gel. These can help improve the appearance of the scar over time. Make sure to apply them as directed by the manufacturer.

My wife had skin grafting surgery on her hands and neck after a fire accident before we got married. The doctor recommended melalite xl cream and brite cream, but I'm wondering if there are better treatments to help her skin return to its original state faster. She's really struggling mentally because of this are there other options that could work better for her?

Outcome after burns depends on the severity. In mild (superficial) and moderate (partial thickness) burn skin usually heals without scarring. But in severe (full thickness) burns all layers of skin are damaged resulting in permanent scars. I am assuming that your wife had sustained severe burns which is treated by skin grafting. Apart from scar hyper pigmentation is another complication of burns. If this what you consulted the Dermatologist then the medications you mentioned do help to improve the appearance. Whether any other medications are indicated in your wife's case depends on the proper assessment. Next Steps You should continue these creams at least for 2-3 months to assess the response of treatment. Health Tips You can consult another skin specialist for second opinion if you are not completely satisfied with the first consultation.
