I've been getting this weird mark that looks like a hickey on my neck. It's shown up three times in the exact same spot since last fall. The thing is, I know it's definitely not a hickey, and it doesn't itch or hurt. I'm pretty nervous because I haven't done anything that might cause it. I'm 39 and in decent health, and even using hydrocortisone cream hasn't helped. It's hard to see a doctor because by the time I get an appointment, it disappears. It just pops up out of nowhere. What do you think might be going on?

I've been dealing with white, dry patches around my groin area, including on the scrotum and penis. I was diagnosed with a fungal infection a few months ago and took medication which cleared up the infection, but the dryness and skin flaking haven't gone away. Any ideas on what might be causing this or how I can treat it? I'm kind of worried about it.
