I've had this dark horizontal line across my nose for the past two years, and nothing seems to help. It's embarrassing, and I've tried so many things, including a Q-Switch laser treatment that only slightly lightened it. Retino gel hasn't worked either, and I'm worried because I'm running out of options and can't afford expensive treatments. Could you suggest anything else I might try to get rid of this?

I'm dealing with this recurring skin infection on my upper thighs. It shows up as a red, wet area and itches a lot. Even after using medical soap, it leaves behind these acne-like patches with blood marks. I'm really hoping for a permanent solution. Any advice on what could help?

I've developed a skin rash that began on my inner thighs and now has spread to my shoulders, ankles, buttocks, and the side of my stomach. It started out red and has turned black, with little itchy bumps. Should I be worried about this, and what could be causing it?

It sounds like you may be experiencing a fungal skin infection, such as tinea corporis (ringworm). I recommend using an antifungal cream like Clotrimazole 1% cream. Apply a thin layer to the affected areas twice a day for 2-4 weeks. Additionally, you can take an oral antihistamine like Cetirizine 10mg once daily to help with the itching. Make sure to keep the affected areas clean and dry, and avoid sharing towels or clothing to prevent spreading the infection.
