Question

I've been experiencing a lot of itching near the joints of my hips and legs, and there's some discharge too. It feels like it's getting worse. Could this be a fungal infection? What should I do about it?

Question

My wife came down with chicken pox back in late November, and we noticed the pox marks are fading, but it's happening really slowly. I'm starting to worry since it's been over two months now, and I'm not sure if these marks are ever going to completely disappear. Should we see a doctor about this, or is it better to just keep using coconut oil and let things heal naturally? We're just a bit concerned and would appreciate some guidance on what to do next.

Question

I've been dealing with this annoying issue for a couple of years now. I had a motorcycle silencer burn on my right calf, and while it healed, I keep getting these weird allergic reactions at the same spot. Even when I don't mess with it, I see pus-filled pores popping up there occasionally. I've tried consulting several skin specialists, but nothing seems to work long-term. What could be the reason behind this persistent problem, and do you have any advice or treatment suggestions?
