I don't know what's going on, but for the past two years, my dad keeps getting these sudden scratches on his skin. We've consulted a few doctors, but nothing seems to work. Can you help us figure out what's causing this?

That looks like keratosis pilaris? if it is so take bath twice daily and use good moisturizer two times a day that will work , if it still persists visit dermatologist topical lotions.

Question

I'm working the night shift and dealing with some unbearable jock itch, the itching and pain are really getting to me. Could you recommend any medicine that might help? Also, I'm wondering about what foods I should eat or avoid. Is it okay to have dal, ghee, chicken, eggs, fish, or wheat during this time? Plus, is it safe to hit the gym with this condition? Would appreciate any advice you can offer!

Question

I've been using Melamet cream for over a year and noticed good results, but I've recently seen some reviews saying it's actually not good for the skin. I've also heard that using hydroquinone doesn't cause any harm. I stopped using the cream about 10 days ago, and I haven't noticed any changes in my face yet. I'm worried though, is there a chance my skin might turn dark again? If that's possible, how can I keep the fair complexion I got from the cream? Would love some advice on this!

Question

I'm dealing with a lot of sexual health issues, like redness and patches on the foreskin and tip of my penis for the last two years. I've tried both generic and homeopathy tablets, and while there were some small improvements with the homeopathy tablets, the redness and patches keep coming back. I've also used Clop G cream, but it hasn't helped. This all started about three years ago after a sexual encounter. The skin on the right side of my penis broke, it healed with tablets back then, but about a year later, this ongoing issue began. There hasn't been any change for the past two years. Can you give me some advice or solutions for this problem? I'm really concerned and would appreciate any guidance you can offer.
