I'm dealing with some serious itching and irritation around my pubic area, and I'm really worried. There are these white or grey spots with light pink in between, and the skin looks different from the surrounding area. It seems like this is spreading to my groin and even affecting my scrotum, which also feels infected. It's really covering a good part of the area between my thighs, and the itching is just unbearable. What could this be, and how should I handle it?

That looks like fungal infection which needs oral and topical antifungal medication and personal hygiene is the main stay, visit Dermatologist for appropriate management.

Question

I've been dealing with hives and took longifene for a week, which seemed to help initially. But now my cheeks are red, and after seeing a doctor, it's just gotten worse with itching all over my face, small pimples, and even more redness. What's going on, and what should I do next?

Question

I'm pretty worried because I've had this small lump in my groin for about 6 weeks now. Initially, a general surgeon thought it was just a local infection and suggested applying follicilin, which I did for 5 weeks, but the lump didn't reduce in size. Then I saw another doctor who diagnosed it as tinea cruris fungal infection and prescribed Forcan 150 and quadriderm. He mentioned it should heal in 5 days, but it's been 5 days and there's no change. I'm concerned about why it's not healing. Do you think I need a different treatment or should I consult yet another doctor for a second opinion?

Question

I got stung by a honey bee on my penis shaft and took out the sting myself. It didn't hurt after that, but now, about half an hour later, it's swollen up. What do you recommend for medication or treatment?
