So, I've been dealing with a fungal skin infection and tried using KZ soap for about three weeks. I stopped using it, and now, just a week later, the infection is back. I'm 27 and a bit worried. What should I do next?

-It seems the fungal infection wasn't fully cleared. I recommend visiting a doctor for a proper antifungal treatment plan. You might need a longer course or a different medication to fully resolve the issue.

View allI'm a 35-year-old guy working as a software engineer with regular hours from 10 AM to 7 PM in Bangalore, Karnataka, India. Each summer, I'm dealing with this burning sensation on the top of my right foot, just behind my toes. It's weird because it only happens when I'm trying to sleep, causing me to wake up sometimes in the middle of the night. Any idea what could be causing this or how to get rid of it?
it can be peripheral neuropathy

I've been struggling with hidradenitis suppurativa for years and tried tablets with no relief. Recently had surgery but still no improvement. My doctor suggested Humira injections - is this a good option? Also, could you recommend the best specialists for this in Ahmedabad or nearby areas in Gujarat? What are the names of similar injections available in India?
Humira (adalimumab) is an option for treating hidradenitis suppurativa (HS), especially when other treatments have failed. It's a biologic drug that helps reduce inflammation, a key factor in HS. If your doctor recommends Humira, it's worth exploring, but it's crucial to discuss potential side effects and risks with them. Other similar injections, also biologics, available in India for HS include BIMZELX® (bimekizumab-bkzx) and COSENTYX® (secukinumab)

I've been dealing with a persistent pimple on my eyebrow for about a month now. It's getting harder and seems to be growing bigger every day. Should I be worried? What might be causing this, and what can I do to treat it?
A persistent pimple on your eyebrow can be frustrating and concerning. Possible Causes 1. Infected hair follicle: A bacterial infection, such as folliculitis, can cause a hard, painful pimple. 2. Ingrown hair: An ingrown hair can cause inflammation, leading to a hard pimple. 3. Cyst or abscess: A cyst or abscess can form under the skin, causing a hard, painful lump. 4. Allergic reaction: An allergic reaction to a product, such as a hair care or makeup product, can cause a skin reaction, including a hard pimple. Home Remedies 1. Warm compresses: Apply a warm, damp washcloth to the area for 5-10 minutes, 2-3 times a day, to help bring the pus and bacteria to the surface. 2. Tea tree oil: Mix a few drops of tea tree oil with a carrier oil like coconut or olive oil and apply it to the affected area to help reduce inflammation and combat bacteria. 3. Aloe vera: Apply aloe vera gel to the affected area to help soothe and calm the skin. Medical Treatment 1. Consult a dermatologist: If the pimple persists, worsens, or becomes severely painful, consult a dermatologist for proper evaluation and treatment. 2. Antibiotics or topical creams: A dermatologist may prescribe antibiotics or topical creams to help clear up the infection. 3. Drainage or extraction: In some cases, a dermatologist may need to drain or extract the pimple to help clear up the infection.
