Bacterial infection and ringworm are two different things. Ringworm is fungal infection that presents rings generally over the areas where there is more sweating like thigh area, under the breast or armpit area and that is to be treated by anti-fungal medication for long time like 1-2 months. Bacterial infection is the one which is present with the puss and boils and has to be treated with antibiotics. Fungal infection on the scalp is very uncommon in adults and its only a problem of pre-school children. Proper diagnosis is required for the treatment to work. Consult a dermatologist for the same.

I hava facing heir fall issue

Male | 24

Hair fall may happen as a result of several reasons such as stress, unhealthy diet, or heredity. You may be the one to whom it is happening if you notice more hair on the pillow or in the shower. To support your efforts, healthy eating, stress relief, and using gentle hair products can be helpful.

Which treatment suits on me, as i m suffering from acne pigmentation nd dullness?

Female | 27

Dealing with acne, dark spots, and dullne­ss can be frustrating. Acne causes pimples. Pigmentation le­ads to unwanted dark patches. Dullness make­s your complexion appear tired, lacking radiance­. To tackle these woe­s, consider skincare with retinol, niacinamide­, and vitamin C. Shielding your skin from sun damage by applying sunscree­n regularly is crucial. Cleanse your face­ diligently, resist picking at blemishe­s, and stay hydrated by drinking ample water.
