I got bitten by a leech on July 21st, 2019, and since then I've had a tetanus shot and been on antibiotics. Now I'm experiencing some itching and rashes. Should I be worried about any long-term effects or is this a normal reaction?

View allI'm really struggling with hair removal in my private areas like the inner thighs and around the testicles and anus. Every time I try, it just ends up irritating the skin and I get these pesky fungal infections because of it. It's really uncomfortable and frustrating. Can you suggest any better solutions or tips that might help with this?
For hair removal in sensitive areas, opt for gentle methods like trimming with electric clippers or using hair removal creams designed specifically for sensitive skin (patch-test first). Avoid shaving to minimize irritation and fungal infections. Keep the area clean, dry, and apply an antifungal powder if prone to infections. Consult a dermatologist for persistent issues.

I've been dealing with really rough and dry skin on one of my fingers for the past two years. It almost looks like cracked drought land when I look closely. Sometimes it gets itchy too. What could be causing this, and what can I do about it?
You may be experiencing a condition called eczema. I recommend using a moisturizing cream containing 1% hydrocortisone to help with the dryness and itching. You can apply it to the affected area twice a day for up to 2 weeks. Additionally, you can use a gentle cleanser and avoid harsh soaps to prevent further irritation. If the symptoms persist, it is best to consult a dermatologist for further evaluation and management.
