I've noticed some pale black vertical lines on my nails, and they're not super dark, but I'm a bit worried about what this could mean. Could you help me understand what these lines might signify?

Question

Is it okay to take a bath when I have chickenpox? My parents are telling me not to, and I'm not sure what to do.

I've been getting these red dots on the head of my penis after having sex or masturbating and it's starting to hurt when I try to pull back the foreskin, especially around the frenulum. The weird thing is, if I don't do anything for about 45 days, the dots go away. I went to a dermatologist who said it might be a fungal issue and gave me an antifungal cream, but it's been a month and nothing's changed. I've tested negative for HIV. Any idea what this could be and how I might treat it?

Question

I've been dealing with some intense itching on my inner thighs, and the skin there is really dark. My thighs do rub against each other, which probably doesn't help. I'm also noticing that the area stays quite moist. I'm curious about how I might be able to lighten the skin and stop the itching. Any advice?
