My skin tone is dusky and I've been thinking about lightening it for personal reasons. Are there any permanent solutions or surgeries for this? I'd like to know more about the procedure, how it works, and what the recovery time would be.

Laser therapy uses light to make skin look better. It's a great way to get a brighter, even skin tone. Always work with a skilled dermatologist for the best results.

View allI'm noticing this ring-like red spot on my face and it sort of reminds me of ringworm. I've started using Lobate GM cream for it. Is this the right treatment to go for, or should I be doing something different? Im a bit worried about whether I'm using the right stuff for this.
A ring red spot or rash on your face resembling ringworm may require antifungal treatment. However, Lobate GM is not appropriate for ringworm as it contains a combination of a steroid (betamethasone) and two other ingredients. Instead, you should use an antifungal cream like Terbinafine (brand name Lamisil) or Clotrimazole (brand name Lotrimin). Apply the antifungal cream twice daily on the affected area for at least 2 weeks. If the rash persists or worsens, consult a dermatologist for further evaluation and management.

I've recently been diagnosed with shingles at 25, and I can't shake this worry after reading online that it might be a symptom of something more serious like HIV. Should I be concerned about this connection? Is there something specific I should look out for?
if you are concerned about HIV, it is important to get tested for it. In the meantime, for shingles, you can take antiviral medications such as Acyclovir 800mg five times a day for 7-10 days to help reduce the severity and duration of the outbreak. Additionally, you can take over-the-counter pain relievers like ibuprofen to help with any discomfort.
