I've got this ringworm on my face, and even though Ive been using cloben g as my doctor friend suggested, it went away initially but came back bigger in the same spot. Is there something oral I can take to get rid of this fungus for good? I'm really worried it might keep spreading. What should I do?

View allI'm dealing with unwanted facial hair and really want to try some permanent hair removal options. However, I'm an SLE patient and currently on medication. I'm worried about whether having American Electrolysis treatment could cause any issues for me. Are there better hair removal methods out there that would be safer given my condition?
American Electrolysis treatment for hair removal may not be the best option for you as an SLE patient, especially if you are under medication. The process involves inserting a fine needle into each hair follicle and applying an electrical current to destroy the hair follicle. This can potentially cause skin irritation, scarring, and other complications, which may be more risky for individuals with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Instead, you may consider laser hair removal as a safer alternative. Laser hair removal targets the hair follicles with concentrated light, destroying the hair without causing damage to the surrounding skin. It is a non-invasive procedure that may be more suitable for individuals with SLE. However, it is important to consult with your healthcare provider before undergoing any hair removal treatment to ensure it is safe for you considering your medical condition and medications.

Are folliculitis and Pityriasis Versicolor contagious? I've got a 7-month-old baby, and I'm worried about whether there's a risk of it spreading to him when I hold him. Could you help clarify this concern?
As a parent, it's natural to worry about your baby's health. Pityrosporum Folliculitis (P. Folliculitis) and Pityriasis Versicolor (P. Versicolor): Both conditions are caused by the overgrowth of a yeast-like fungus called Malassezia. This fungus is naturally present on human skin and can cause problems when it grows excessively.Neither P. Folliculitis nor P. Versicolor is highly contagious. The fungus that causes these conditions is already present on human skin, and overgrowth is often triggered by individual factors, such as: 1. Hormonal changes 2. Stress 3. Genetics 4. Environmental factors (e.g., humidity, temperature) Risk of transmission to your baby: The risk of transmitting P. Folliculitis or P. Versicolor to your 7-month-old baby is low. However, it's essential to take precautions:

I'm really concerned about my face turning darker and more oily since I moved to Bangalore. My skin used to be wheatish, but over the past 1.5 months, it has almost turned completely black. It's really upsetting because it's only affecting my face, and nothing I've tried, like washing or whitening creams, is making a difference. I usually just use mild soap and never really used facial creams for anything else. I'm not sure who to ask about this, even though I bumped into an Ayurveda doctor last week who noticed my skin change but didn't suggest anything to fix it. Any advice on what might be happening or how to get my skin color back would be really helpful.
That could bebecause of change in water no need to worry your skin will become normal with time it will adapt the change do not rush for any have patience,maintain healthy life style.
