I've got this strange rash on my arm that I noticed a few days ago. It's just one spot, and it's circular with a scaly edge, but the center is really red. I'm wondering what it might be. Any ideas?

There is a possibility that the rash you are describing is a ringworm infection. I recommend using an antifungal cream such as Lotrimin Ultra twice a day on the affected area for 2-4 weeks. Make sure to keep the area clean and dry. If the rash does not improve or worsens, please follow up with a healthcare provider for further evaluation.

I'm wondering if it's safe to use hair removal cream to get rid of pubic hair. Has anyone tried VWash hair removal cream for this? Or maybe there's another product that's better for completely removing pubic hair? I'm a bit concerned about the safety and effectiveness, and would love to hear from someone with some expertise or experience!

Yes you can use it no problem
