I've noticed that the skin around the outside of my right toenail has gotten really soft and there's this watery liquid forming. Is this something I should be worried about, like an infection, and what steps should I take to treat it?

This sounds like you may have a paronychia, which is an infection of the skin around the toenail. You can try soaking your foot in warm water with Epsom salts a few times a day to help reduce the infection. You can also apply an antibiotic ointment like Neosporin to the affected area. If the infection is severe or does not improve, you may need to see a doctor for further treatment.

View allI've been dealing with a fungal infection between my last two toes on both feet. I used to use Lulifin Lotion from Ranbaxy, and it worked to keep it under control. But lately, I can't find it anywhere. Could you recommend another option? Also, I have to use a dusting powder like Tzyo or Candid every day because the space between my toes is narrow. Is there a permanent solution you could suggest?
Probable diagnosis is fungal infection , candid cream for local application, once daily for 2 weeks is advised, also tab levocetrizine 10 mg at bedtime for 7 days is advised, if any allergic reactions dermat opinion is advised.

I've been struggling with a pretty bad face burn, and now my skin's turning really dark and blackish. I've tried using Hydroheal cream when it first happened and then switched to coconut oil. But I'm worried because it doesn't seem to be getting any better. Is there anything else I should be doing to help my skin recover?

I've been taking doxycycline 100mg once a day for my acne, and I'm really curious if this could lead to any hair loss. Should I be concerned about this side effect?
Using doxycyclin to treat acne is generally safe for most people, but you should be aware of potential side effects like gastrointestinal issues, photosensitivity, and yeast infections. Make sure to follow your dermatologists instructions carefully and hairfall is less likely
