I'm dealing with this issue for about 56 weeks now. I've got these small rashes on the skin of the penis cap and the inner skin too. Sometimes they seem to clear up, but then they come back. It also hurts during sex. Can you tell me what's going on?

Recurring Elevated CRP Levels in a 3-Year-Old
Possible Causes
- Recurring infections: Frequent infections, such as ear infections, pneumonia, or urinary tract infections, can cause elevated CRP levels.
- Autoimmune disorders: Conditions like juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) or inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) can cause chronic inflammation and elevated CRP levels.
- Allergies or sensitivities: Food allergies or sensitivities can cause inflammation and elevated CRP levels.
- Gastrointestinal issues: Conditions like gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) or inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) can cause inflammation and elevated CRP levels.
Recommended Actions
- Consult a pediatrician or pediatric rheumatologist: Discuss your nephew's recurring elevated CRP levels and determine the best course of action.
- Comprehensive diagnostic workup: Consider additional tests, such as:
- Erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR)
- Liver function tests (LFTs)
- Stool tests for gastrointestinal pathogens
- Imaging studies (e.g., X-rays, ultrasound) to rule out underlying conditions
- Monitor CRP levels and overall health: Regularly check CRP levels and monitor your nephew's overall health, including his appetite, vomiting, and stool habits.
Possible Treatment Options
- Antibiotics or antivirals: If an underlying infection is identified.
- Anti-inflammatory medications: To manage inflammation and reduce CRP levels.
- Immunosuppressive medications: If an autoimmune disorder is diagnosed.
- Dietary changes: If food allergies or sensitivities are suspected.

View allSo, I've been dealing with melanin depigmentation and tried out this Pigmanorm cream that's got hydroquinone 4, hydrocortisone 1, and tretinoin 0.1. I applied it for three days, and now my face is all red in those spots. I stopped using the cream, but I'm kind of freaking out about whether this redness will go away on its own. Right now, I'm using Bioderma Sensibio Forte cream because I heard it's good for flushed skin. Do you think the redness will just fade away, or is it something that's going to stick around for a while? Also, I'm putting on Eveline sunscreen SPF 50 three times a day. Could you check out the pics and tell me what you think?

I've got these warts on my face and they're starting to get bigger every day. I had a dermatologist remove one before, but it ended up costing me around six thousand. Is that a normal price for this kind of procedure, or is it a bit steep? Also, what can I do to prevent new ones from appearing in the future?

I've been dealing with allergic eruptions ever since I was a kid. Recently, I found out I have psoriasis and eczema on my joints like my ankles, elbows, and knees. My IgE levels are pretty high at 1700. I regularly take Allegra 120 and Montair LC which help a bit, but nothing seems to truly work. I'm in a tough spot and dont know what to do. Can you offer any advice on how to manage or reduce these issues? I've tried both homeopathy and allopathy, but no luck so far.
For the management of Psoriasis and eczema with allergic eruptions, in addition to your current antihistamines, I recommend adding a topical corticosteroid cream like Betnovate to reduce inflammation and itching. Apply a thin layer to the affected areas once or twice daily. Also, you can use a moisturizer like Cetaphil to keep the skin hydrated. Furthermore, you can consider taking an immunosuppressant medication like Methotrexate under the guidance of a dermatologist to help control the autoimmune response causing Psoriasis. This should be taken once a week in a prescribed dosage. It's important to continue with regular follow-ups with your dermatologist to monitor your condition and adjust the treatment plan as needed.
