Question

I've noticed this dark black spot on my nose that started about two months ago, and it's beginning to spread. I've already seen a doctor who prescribed some ointment, soap, and tablets, plus I've been applying aloe vera. I'm really eager to know if there's anything else I could try to speed up the healing process. Any suggestions?

Question

I've been dealing with itchy testicles for a year now, and it's really getting worse. I make sure to clean my genital area daily, but it tends to be dry. I've tried everythingaloe moisturizers, Vera gel, soframycin oilbut nothing seems to work for long. I get some temporary relief, but the itching is really bad at midnight, early morning, or after going to the office gym. Can you suggest any medicine or ointment that might help with this?

Question

I'm worried because I think a fire ant might have bitten my testicle sacks. They're swollen now, and at first, it was really itchy, but that part has stopped. Should I be concerned about the swelling? What should I do next?
