I've had this really itchy circular ring on my foot for about a month now. It started out as just a patch with blisters, but now it's turned into this ring shape that's driving me crazy. I've been using antiseptic cream, but it doesn't seem to be helping at all. What could this be, and how should I treat it?

I'm thinking about trying Melacare cream to lighten the skin on my face, but I'm a bit worried. Can using Melacare lead to skin cancer?

Melacare cream is a combination medication containing Hydroquinone, Tretinoin, and Mometasone. It is commonly used to lighten dark patches of skin. However, prolonged and indiscriminate use of hydroquinone can lead to side effects such as skin irritation, redness, and thinning of the skin. Tretinoin can also cause skin irritation and sensitivity to sunlight. Mometasone, if used for a long time, can lead to skin thinning and increased risk of infections. Regarding the risk of skin cancer, there is no direct evidence linking the use of Melacare cream to skin cancer. However, it is important to use this medication under the guidance of a healthcare professional and to follow the recommended dosage and duration of treatment to minimize the risk of side effects.

I'm using cipla 8x shampoo for hair fall because my doctor recommended it, but I actually have an oily scalp without dandruff. I wash my hair every day and Im wondering if its okay to use cipla 8x daily? I tend to use just a small amount each time.
