I'm a bit concerned about a spider bite I have. It has a white dry center and there's a purple bruise around it. Do you think I should get it checked out by a doctor?

I'm taking griseofulvin because my doctor prescribed it for a problem, but I forgot to mention that I'm already on tryptomer. Is it okay to take tryptomer and griseofulvin on the same day, like maybe griseofulvin in the morning and tryptomer before bed? I'm a bit concerned about any interactions or issues that could arise from taking them together.

I've been taking Finasteride 1mg every day, but I'm still dealing with dandruff even though I'm using Scalpe Plus Shampoo. Could this be related to the change in seasons or is something else going on? I'm worried because it feels like I'm losing about 20 to 25 hairs daily. Can you help me understand what's happening?

I've been getting these red dots on the head of my penis after having sex or masturbating and it's starting to hurt when I try to pull back the foreskin, especially around the frenulum. The weird thing is, if I don't do anything for about 45 days, the dots go away. I went to a dermatologist who said it might be a fungal issue and gave me an antifungal cream, but it's been a month and nothing's changed. I've tested negative for HIV. Any idea what this could be and how I might treat it?

Since the anti-fungal cream prescribed by the dermatologist did not resolve the issue, it may be worth considering a different approach. I recommend trying a combination of antibiotic and steroid cream to address any possible bacterial or inflammatory component of the condition. You can apply a combination of Mupirocin ointment (2%) and Hydrocortisone cream (1%) twice daily on the affected area for 7-10 days. Additionally, practicing good hygiene, including gently washing the penis with warm water and mild soap, and ensuring proper drying of the area after bathing, can help prevent recurrence
