I'm a bit confused about my test results. I tested negative for VDRL and RPR, but my TPHA came back positive at 1160. What does this mean for me in terms of timing or stage of syphilis? I've already taken a 2g dose of Azithromycin. Should I be concerned about needing Penicillin or Doxycycline too?

I'm dealing with this really annoying itching that's been going on since May. At first, it was just itching, but then the spots turned into these reddish round patches. I thought it might be something like ringworm, so I got some ring out ointment from the store, but the itching came back. Sometimes, it gets so bad that it even bleeds a bit. I've been using coconut oil and bathing with Dettol twice a day, but it's not helping much. It's really getting on my nerves. Any idea what could be causing this or how to make it stop?

this looks like a disease called intertrigo,this needs oral and topical antifungal agents, visit dermatologist for appropriate treatment,personal hygiene is most important in such conditions.

I've been told to take Androanagen, one tablet at night, for at least six months. I'm really curious if there are any side effects with this medication. Also, is it true that the government has banned this tablet?

Androanagen is a combination medication that is commonly used for hair loss treatment. It contains Finasteride and Minoxidil. Some common side effects of Androanagen may include decreased libido, erectile dysfunction, breast tenderness or enlargement, and skin rash.
