I've got this strange rash on my arm that I noticed a few days ago. It's just one spot, and it's circular with a scaly edge, but the center is really red. I'm wondering what it might be. Any ideas?

There is a possibility that the rash you are describing is a ringworm infection. I recommend using an antifungal cream such as Lotrimin Ultra twice a day on the affected area for 2-4 weeks. Make sure to keep the area clean and dry. If the rash does not improve or worsens, please follow up with a healthcare provider for further evaluation.

I've been dealing with some really bad dandruff lately. It's not just in my scalp but the whole nose area too, which has turned red, hard, and dry. The scales that come off are either white or yellowish, and they seem kind of oily. Plus, I've got these painful boils on my nose that just won't go away. And there's a lot of itching and hairfall. I'm really worried about all thiswhat could be causing it, and how can I get some relief?

Ive been dealing with a lot of pimples since last month, and my doctor recommended I try Melalumin TM and Nadoxin creams. I'm worried because I've heard these creams have chemicals that might darken my skin. Plus, my pimples have pus in them. What should I do?
