I'm dealing with this dry and rough skin issue on my back, right around my spine. The rough patches are starting to spread out over more of my back, and it gets really itchy if I don't apply any skin cream like Fourderm. What's going on, and should I be worried about it spreading further?

That could be fungal infection which needs both oral and topical antifungal medications and personal hygiene is more important for such condition.

I'm supposed to use candid LA ointment on my penis, but the tube I have doesnt mention LA, nor does it say Candid B. Are these two different creams? Also, what's the right way to apply it? Should I retract the foreskin, apply the cream, and then put the foreskin back, or apply the cream, wash it off, and then restore the foreskin?

Viruses (Hantavirus, Lymphocytic choriomeningitis) 3. Parasites (tapeworms, fleas) 4. Urine and feces Cooking Does Not Guarantee Safety:_ 1. Heat may not kill all bacteria and viruses. 2. Toxins produced by bacteria can remain active. 3. Contamination can occur through packaging damage.

I'm dealing with dandruff and my friend said kz lotion might help. Can you tell me how exactly I'm supposed to use it? Also, are there any side effects I should be worried about?

To use it, you should first wash and dry the affected area. Then, apply a thin layer of KZ lotion to the scalp and massage it gently. Leave it on for a few hours or overnight, and then wash it off. Common side effects of KZ lotion may include skin irritation, dryness, or a burning sensation. If you experience any severe side effects or allergic reactions, such as rash, swelling, or difficulty breathing, stop using the lotion and seek medical help immediately.
