I'm dealing with a fungal infection for about 15 days now and have been using Surfaz SN ointment. It seems like it's getting better, but I still get that itchy feeling sometimes. Could you guide me on what to do next? Should I be taking any pills for this infection? If yes, can you suggest what kind?

I'm having this problem with red marks on the glans of my penis and the foreskin. Sometimes it's itchy, and it seems to go away but then comes back. Also, there are times when the foreskin feels really tight. What could be causing this, and should I be worried?

#NAME?

Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors

I'm African American and I've noticed my skin used to be much lighter, but over the past six years, it's gotten so dark that I can barely see myself at night. I spend most of my time indoors and rarely go out. I've tried skin bleaching products before, and they worked, but once I stop using them, my skin becomes darker again. Do you have any suggestions for lotions or treatments I could try to help with this?
