My mom, who's 55, got a pimple on her neck last month. The doctor recommended a Mantoux test, and from the results, they mentioned she might have skin TB. The thing is, except for that pimple, she doesn't have any other symptoms of TB. I'm wondering if just one Mantoux test is really enough to diagnose TB, or should we be looking into more tests? And also, is skin TB something that's curable? Would love some guidance on this.

View allI'm dealing with a stubborn fungal infection on my butt that's been bothering me for a few months now. I did see a doctor, and they gave me some cream and powder to use, which seemed to clear things up at first. But now, instead of that round, rash-like infection, I've developed bubble or pimple-like fungal bumps. Any idea what might be happening or how I should handle this? I'm really hoping to find a way to get rid of it for good.
It sounds like you may be experiencing a different type of fungal infection after treating the initial round. For the bubble or pimple-like fungal infection, you can try using Clotrimazole cream twice a day on the affected area. Additionally, you can take Fluconazole 150mg tablet once a week for 4 weeks to treat the infection from within. Make sure to keep the area clean and dry to prevent further spread of the infection.

I'm constantly washing my penis, but the skin on the tip is still cracked. What could be causing this, and how can I fix it?
washing it frequently would make it dry and lack of moist, wash it when you take bath and that's enough,if it is causing symptoms like pain or burning sensation visit Dermatologist for evaluation and appropriate treatment.

I'm really worried about these black spots on my cheeks and nose. I went to Hindu Rao hospital and they told me it's melasma. I've tried using Clearz Max and Suncros EquaGel, but they didn't help. Even aloe vera and lemon haven't worked, and it seems like the spots are getting darker and spreading across my face. What do you think I should try next?
Mellasma is very stubborn and take stime to heal ,visit Dermatologist for appropriate management
