I'm dealing with a penile yeast infection that's been lingering for about a month. I saw a skin doctor who prescribed itraconazole capsules and propyzone nf cream initially, then ibisert cream afterward. Even after finishing the medication, I'm still experiencing itching inside the head and neck of my penis, which can be quite embarrassing, though there's no visible fungus anymore. Can you offer any advice on how I might be able to fully get rid of this?

I've been dealing with this really annoying itching issue lately. After I itch, these red spots about 2 mm in diameter pop up, and then they turn black. It's been going on for a while, and I've already got about 7 or 8 of these black spots in different places on my body. The itching just won't stop. Could you help me figure out what this might be and how I can treat it?

I woke up this morning with a rash that kind of looks like a rat bite. I've noticed a rat in my room before and I've been using rat poison to try to deal with it. I didn't wake up last night and the wound hasn't bled or anything. Should I be worried or do anything about it?
