I'm a bit worried because I've been noticing some fungal infection around my penis and thighs. It's kind of like a dad type rash. I've heard about Medisalic and Fungicros cream, do you think they would work for this kind of genital fungi?

If you use medisalic or fungicross, it will cause serious and permanent damage to the skin. You may be suffering from tinea cruris which is fungal infection of the inner thighs and buttocks area. It can be treated by taking four to six weeks of anti fungal treatment which includes tablets along with creams. Do not use soap over that area. Mistreatment with over the counter Steroid containing creams like medisalic, fungicross, panderm, quadriderm, hh zole, candid b etc lead to repeated case of recurrence and also side effects due to application. Do not use steroid containing combination creams

View allI'm noticing these rashes popping up anywhere on my body, mainly in the morning and evening. Theyre itchy, red, and kind of rashy like pithi dafad, and they tend to disappear after a while. Should I be worried about this, or is it something common?
It seems like you are experiencing a skin condition called Urticaria, also known as Hives. This condition presents as raised, itchy rashes that come and go. To help relieve the itching and redness, you can take Cetirizine (brand name Zyrtec) 10mg once daily. Additionally, applying a soothing lotion like Calamine lotion on the affected areas can also provide relief. If the symptoms persist or worsen, it is advisable to consult a dermatologist for further evaluation and management.

I'm dealing with chickenpox and the scabs have dried, but they haven't started falling off yet. I scratched a few of the blisters earlier and I'm really worried they'll turn into scars. Should I wait until I'm fully recovered to see a dermatologist, or do you think I should make an appointment sooner to prevent any marks?
You can wait until the scabs have fallen off and the skin has fully healed before consulting a dermatologist. However, if you've scratched the blisters, it's best to consult a dermatologist sooner to minimize the risk of scarring. They can assess the affected areas and provide guidance on: 1. Topical treatments to reduce inflammation and promote healing. 2. Scar prevention and management strategies. Schedule an appointment within the next 7-10 days to ensure timely intervention.
