My dad's got these three lumps on his back, near the spine and upper back, that have popped up over the past year. They aren't causing him any pain, but I'm a bit worried about them. Should we be concerned?

View allI've had CO2 laser treatments done twice for molluscum contagiosum, but it just won't go away. What else can I try to stop it from coming back?
Recurrence of molluscum contagiosum after CO2 laser treatment can be frustrating. To help prevent further recurrence, I recommend using Imiquimod cream (brand name Aldara) topically on the affected areas once daily at bedtime for up to 16 weeks. Additionally, you can take oral antiviral medication such as Cimetidine (brand name Tagamet) 400mg twice daily for 6-8 weeks to boost your immune system's response against the virus. Make sure to follow up with your dermatologist for further evaluation and management.

I'm dealing with this ring guard on my skin, and it's starting to spread to the lower part of my body. I'm really worried about it. Here are some pictures. Can you help me figure out what's going on and what I should do?
You may have a fungal infection. I recommend using an antifungal cream such as Clotrimazole 1% cream. Apply a thin layer to the affected area twice a day for 2-4 weeks. Make sure to keep the area clean and dry to help with the healing process. If the infection does not improve or worsens, please follow up with a healthcare professional for further evaluation and treatment.

I've been wondering if it's safe to use zydip c cream on my face. I'm hoping it might help brighten my skin, make it less oily, and maybe even get rid of those pesky black dots. Do you think that's possible, or could there be any side effects I should worry about?
While Zydip C cream may help with acne and inflammation, it's not ideal for brightening, oil control, or removing black dots on the face due to potential risks like skin thinning, dependence, and antibiotic resistance.
