I'm currently seeing a dermatologist near my home for dandruff issues and she has good reviews. She's a female doctor. I also need advice on anal tags after my laser piles surgery and want to get an STD checkup. Can she handle these issues too or should I see another specialist?

A dermatologist can address skin tags and offer STD testing, but a proctologist may be better for post-surgical anal concerns.

I've been dealing with Jock itch for a few years now, and it gets really bad during certain seasons. I've been using FourDerm regularly to try and control the itching, but the infection just won't go away. Recently, I've started going for regular morning walks, and as a result, I'm losing some weight. Now the skin around my thighs has become really sensitive and soft, and it's making me feel really uncomfortable, especially when I walk. What should I do about this? Any advice on how to manage this better?
It sounds like you are experiencing a persistent case of jock itch that is causing discomfort, especially in the thigh area. FourDerm may not be effective enough to treat the infection. I recommend trying a combination antifungal cream like Lotrimin Ultra, applying it twice a day for at least 2 weeks. Additionally, keeping the affected area clean and dry, wearing loose-fitting clothing, and avoiding sharing personal items can help prevent further spread of the infection.

I've been dealing with a lot of itching on my scalp and there's some pain too. My hair is still falling out even though I'm using folica hair tincture. Do you think it will help improve my condition or should I try something else? It's really worrying me.
If you are experiencing itching, pain, and hair loss on your scalp, using Folica hair tincture may help improve your condition. However, it is important to also address the underlying cause of your symptoms. I recommend using Folica hair tincture twice a day, applying it directly to the scalp and gently massaging it in. Additionally, you may consider using a medicated shampoo containing ketoconazole to help with the itching and inflammation. If your symptoms persist or worsen, it is advisable to consult a dermatologist for further evaluation and management.
