I've noticed a small pea-sized lump under my skin on my face for about a week now. At first, it hurt when I touched it, but now there's no pain. Should I be worried about this, or could it just be something minor?

View allI'm dealing with some ringworms in my genital area, and it's causing terrible itching. To make it worse, I'm also on my period right now. The area is really itchy and has turned a reddish color. I'm really uncomfortable and not sure what to do about it. Can you help me out?
You can use an antifungal cream like Clotrimazole (Canesten) twice a day for 2-4 weeks. Additionally, you can take an oral antifungal medication like Fluconazole (Diflucan) 150mg as a single dose.

Kya Betnovate N ke istemal ke baad vitamin E lagana theek hai? Main pichle 2 saal se Betnovate laga raha hoon aur mujhe ab iske side effects ki thodi chinta hone lagi hai. Aap kuch samjha sakte hain iske bare mein?
Please stop using betnovate cream as it contains strong steroids which will cause serious side effects. Steroid induced pimples, photosensitivity that is sun sensitivity, rosacea that is red face, atrophy that is skin thinning, stretch marks, pigmentation, dryness, severe itching and hair growth on the face etc to name a few side effects. Reports of skin cancer are also there. Please don't use any such Steroid containing fairness creams. You will require treatment to slowly put you off this cream by using some substitute as the skin becomes addicted to the steroid.
