I'm 21 and have been dealing with scabies for like 8 months now. I've tried a bunch of creams like permethrin and lindane, but nothing works anymore. The red bumps just keep coming back on my scrotum and penis after a few days of any treatment. Can you suggest something that could really fix this for good so it doesnt return again?

I've noticed some dents or shallow holes on my pinky finger of the left hand and the index finger of the right hand. I was trimming my nails when I first saw them, and after looking it up, I found a term called nail pitting, which is linked to psoriasis and other skin conditions. This has really worried me because I don't have any skin disease or joint pain. Could this be nail pitting or something else entirely? I also have tiny dots on two other nails, but there's only one per nail, and they're not as noticeable as on the pinky and index. The online pictures of nail pitting show nails with lots of deep holes and no shine, which looks scary. My nails still look pretty shiny and not as extreme. Can you help clarify what might be going on here?

Nail pitting is associated with lot of conditions like u mentioned psoriasis etc also most common cause is alopecia.
