Question

I've been dealing with ringworm on the back of my neck for over six months now, and I'm really struggling to find relief. Ive tried using TezcortGM ointment, but every time I apply it, painful boils appear after a few days. It's really uncomfortable, but if I stop using the ointment, the ringworm spreads and gets itchy and exfoliates. I've also tried taking SAFI, but it hasn't been much help either. I've seen a doctor, but that didn't seem to work out. This condition only affects my back neck and nowhere else on my body. I'm really hoping for some advice on how to manage or cure this issue.

Question

Is there any way to fix the side effects of Betnovate cream? I've been using it on my face for about 6 months and had no idea it was such a strong steroid cream. It's been two years and the side effects are still bothering me. I can't even look at myself in the mirror because my face is completely red and covered with acne up to my neck. I tried IPL last winter, but it didn't make any difference. My face is also super dry now. I'm considering PRP, but I'm not sure if it's the right way to go. Any advice?

Question

I've discovered a mole on my scrotum about 5 days ago. It's not irritating or leaking any fluids, so I'm a bit unsure about what kind of specialist I should consult. Should I see a urologist or a dermatologist?

Question

I've been dealing with these Fordyce Spots on my penis for what feels like forever, about 34 years. I've just never really known what to do about them. Is there any way to get rid of them, or should I just let them be?
