I've had this thing that looks like ringworm on my neck for a few months now. My doctor prescribed the strongest cream they have, but it's still not going away. I'm really worried and confused about why it's not healing. Could it be something else or am I doing something wrong? Any advice would be appreciated.

Persistent ringworm infections may require a different approach. In such cases, oral antifungal medications may be necessary. I recommend speaking to your doctor about trying oral antifungal medication such as Terbinafine (brand name Lamisil) at a dosage of 250mg once daily for several weeks. This should help to effectively treat the ringworm infection on your neck.

I've been dealing with a really bad face condition lately. My face is constantly covered in small pimples, and it's super itchy all the time. I'm wondering if it's okay to use lulifin lotion on my face. Do you think it might help with these issues, or could it make things worse? I'd really appreciate some guidance on this.

Lulifin lotion contains luliconazole, which is an antifungal medication used to treat fungal skin infections. It is not typically used for treating acne or itching problems on the face. For small pimples and itching on the face, I recommend using a gentle cleanser and a topical acne treatment containing benzoyl peroxide or salicylic acid. You can also consider using a non-comedogenic moisturizer to keep your skin hydrated. If the condition persists, it is best to consult a dermatologist for a proper evaluation and treatment plan.
