I'm a 35-year-old guy working as a software engineer with regular hours from 10 AM to 7 PM in Bangalore, Karnataka, India. Each summer, I'm dealing with this burning sensation on the top of my right foot, just behind my toes. It's weird because it only happens when I'm trying to sleep, causing me to wake up sometimes in the middle of the night. Any idea what could be causing this or how to get rid of it?

Question

I'm really worried about my husband. He's been scratching his private parts for years now, and he says using prickly heat powders or itching creams helps for a bit, but it's only temporary relief. He insists it's just a habit and nothing's wrong, so he doesn't see a point in visiting a doctor. But honestly, it feels off to me. Could this be a sign of something serious? Should he actually get it checked out? Is there anything I should be doing or suggesting to him?

I've got this boil on my scrotum, kind of like it's filled with pus and a bit of blood at the bottom. It doesn't really hurt, but when my thighs rub against it, I get this slight burning sensation. Should I be worried or get it checked out?
