I've got this wound that healed, but now the skin around it has turned this dark black color and it's not going back to my usual skin tone. What could be causing this? Should I be worried? Is there something I can do to help it return to normal? It's been a little unsettling.

What gets rid of a rash overnight?

We need to determine the cause of rash and then treat accordingly. If you get a red rash with itching , it may be mostly due to an allergy which can be relieved by applying Moisturiser, wet cloth or ice pack to the affected area. You may need to take some antihistamine medications too under doctor's supervision.

I'm dealing with a fungal infection that's been sticking around for about three years. I'm really into non-veg food, and I'm wondering if it's okay for me to continue eating it with my condition. If it's fine, could you suggest what kind of non-veg options would be best for me? I'm a bit confused and would really appreciate your advice!

There is no indication that you are not supposed to eat non veg if you have Fungal infection,avoid foods that your allergic to, otherwise you can have nonveg food of your choice but in a healthy way and limited quantity.
