I've got this round ringworm on the side of my pubic area, and I used an ointment called Flucort to treat it, but now the itchiness is getting worse. What should I do? Could it be that the ointment is making it worse, or is it just not effective for this?

stop using Flucort and consult a healthcare professional to get an accurate diagnosis and proper treatment.

View allI have a keloid on my chest but I've never had any injuries or surgery there. Is it normal to develop one without any trauma? It doesn't hurt but I'm not sure if it's fully cured or if it could get worse over time
Yes, it's possible to develop a keloid without a clear history of injury or surgery. Keloids are a type of scar tissue that can form spontaneously, especially on the chest, shoulders, and ears. While they often occur after skin trauma, they can sometimes develop without an apparent cause

I'm really concerned about my daughter's skin. She's getting these white spots on her face, and they seem to be getting bigger. We saw our pediatrician who thought it was a fungal infection and suggested an antifungal cream for 15 days. But after using it, there wasnt any improvement. So we went to a dermatologist, and he diagnosed it as pityriasis alba. He prescribed mixing Telenorm oil with coconut oil and applying it in the morning with a bit of sun exposure, plus using Flutivate E cream at night and a special shampoo, moisturizer, and soap. Im worried if this is the right treatment for pityriasis alba, or should I consider seeing another dermatologist for a second opinion?
That could be Fungal infection or Vitamin Deficiency, visit Dermatologist for evaluation and appropriate management
