I've noticed some white spots on my face and I'm wondering if it's something beyond calcium deficiency, which I know I have. These spots are a little visible right now, but I'm worried they might get worse over time. What could be causing them and how can I treat them?

View allI'm feeling a bit worried because I've been using iwin 200 mg, Dezlorid 5mg, and ebernate cream for about 40 days. They helped at first, but my symptoms came back after finishing the course. I tried the same medication for another week, and it eased off, but now it's back again. I'm really hoping to find a permanent solution. What do you recommend?
The treatment for fungal infection is simple. You have to take anti fungal tablets and creams for 4 to 6 weeks following which it resolves. Do not apply soap on that area and do not self treat with over the counter steroid creams. Mistreatment with steroid creams like panderm, fourderm, betnovate, candid b etc and self treatment with cheaper generic medicine is the most common reason for recurrent disease. Another cause of recurrence is cross infection from other infected people in the house.

So I've been dealing with these pimple-like small bumps on my nose for about 4 years now and they're not like regular pimples since they don't hurt and never seem to disappear. Sometimes I get other pimples on my cheeks and nose but those usually clear up within a month or so. These other bumps are a different story - they're skin-colored, small, and seem more like cysts because they just won't go away no matter what facewash or scrub I try. My skin is pretty clear otherwise, but these tiny bumps are really bothering me. How can I get rid of them?
To help reduce the appearance of these bumps, you can try using a topical retinoid like Adapalene gel, applying a thin layer to the affected areas once daily at night. Additionally, using a salicylic acid cleanser, such as Neutrogena Oil-Free Acne Wash, can help to exfoliate the skin and unclog pores. Remember to moisturize your skin regularly and use sunscreen during the day to protect your skin. If these bumps persist, consider consulting a dermatologist for further evaluation and treatment options.
