I've been using this bleaching cream called Oxy every month, and it gives me a fair look for just two days, then my skin goes back to normal. But now, after using bleach so much, my skin is starting to get darker, and I feel like I have to use bleach to make it better, which just seems to make it permanently darker. I'm really worried and curious if bleach cream is actually safe to use. Does it actually help? And since my skin's getting darker from it, what can I do to avoid this or make it better? Any advice on creams or tablets would be really appreciated.

I've been dealing with this ringworm problem for about six years now. I've tried all sorts of antifungal soaps and creams, but nothing seems to help. It's actually spreading all over my body. What should I do?

Consider consulting a dermatologist for a proper diagnosis and treatment plan, as prolonged ringworm infections may require oral antifungal medications like fluconazole, itraconazole, or terbinafine, and ensure to complete the full treatment course, even if symptoms improve, to prevent recurrence and further spreading.

I've noticed these blood blister-like spots on my scrotum for about 23 months now. Some of them are kinda hard, while others are softer. They arent bleeding, but I'm really worried because its embarrassing, especially socially. At first, there were only two or three, but now there are over 20. Im feeling anxious about it and its affecting my confidence. Is there any way to get rid of them, and is it something serious?

It is important to consult with a dermatologist for a proper evaluation and treatment plan tailored to your specific condition.
