View allI'm dealing with some intense itching between my legs and it's causing this burning sensation, almost like heat. It's also affected my penis, and now the skin has turned really dark and has even started bleeding. What could be going on here? Should I be worried?
Itching between the legs, burning sensation, heat production, blackening of the skin, and bleeding are suggestive of a fungal infection, most likely a jock itch. You can use an antifungal cream like Clotrimazole 1% twice daily on the affected area for 2-4 weeks. Additionally, keeping the area clean and dry, wearing loose-fitting clothes, and avoiding scratching the area will help in faster recovery.

I've been noticing some white stuff showing up on my face after I shower or wash it, and it's really bothering me. Could you tell me what's going on and what I should use to make it go away?
After taking shower or washing your face, the white stuff appearing on your face is likely sebum mixed with dead skin cells. This can be managed by using a gentle exfoliating cleanser containing salicylic acid or benzoyl peroxide. You can try using a face wash like Neutrogena Oil-Free Acne Wash with 2.5% benzoyl peroxide once daily. Remember to moisturize your skin afterwards to prevent dryness.

I've got an ESR level of 26 mm and my white blood cell count is 11,400, which I heard is 400 more than normal. I've also been battling acne, hair fall, and dandruff lately. Plus, my wisdom tooth's gum is a bit swollen. Could this swelling be causing my high ESR? I'm really concerned about all these symptoms.
Wisdom tooth gum swelling and a potential gum infection could contribute to your elevated ESR and WBC count. Its important to address the gum issue with a dentist and follow up with your doctor for further evaluation of your blood results and other symptoms.
