I'm pretty sure I've got balanitis and I'm wondering if it will clear up on its own. What should I do to treat it? I'm dealing with a lot of inflammation and itching. Any tips or medicines you could recommend?

Balanitis can be uncomfortable, but it's treatable. Here's what you can do: *Self-Care* 1. *Keep the area clean*: Wash with mild soap and lukewarm water. 2. *Avoid irritants*: Steer clear of harsh soaps, bubble baths, and tight clothing. 3. *Pat dry*: Gently pat the area dry, rather than rubbing. *Over-the-Counter (OTC) Medications* 1. *Hydrocortisone cream*: Reduces inflammation and itching. 2. *Antifungal creams*: If the cause is fungal (e.g., candida), use an antifungal cream like clotrimazole. *Prescription Medications (if necessary)* 1. *Antibiotics*: If the cause is bacterial. 2. *Steroid creams*:

I'm worried about a burn scar I've had for about a month. There was a fire accident at my house, and I ended up with a superficial burn. It seems like only the first layer of my skin was affected. Is there anything specific I should do to help it heal better or reduce scarring?

I'm dealing with a ring-shaped rash on my lower body, like my legs and thighs. It's been there for years, maybe around 2025 days, and it's just spreading instead of healing. I've tried using Cream clofresh ot, but it hasn't helped at all. What would you recommend to stop it from spreading and finally get rid of it? I'm really worried about this.

This could be fungal infection u need to evaluate with your Dermatologist and get appropriate treatment with oral antifungal medications and topical lotions,once the infection is resolved your hair fall would come down,I suggest you not to use minoxidil with active fungal infection,above this your personal hygiene care is more important.
