I'm dealing with this really annoying itching on my hips, and now I've noticed it's causing some black spots to appear. It's not just staying in one place eitherseems like it's slowly spreading across my hips. What could this be, and what should I do about it? I'm a bit worried and would love some advice.

I'm dealing with HSV 1 and found out I'm IgG positive. Since I've had this infection before and it's now latent, could I still pass it on to someone else through oral contact even when I don't have active symptoms?

I'm really worried right now. While I was shaving with a trimmer that has stainless steel blades, I accidentally got a cut on my scrotum. It bled quite a bit, and I noticed the skin has peeled off in about 23 places. The bleeding has stopped, but I'm unsure about how to help it heal properly. What should I apply to these cuts to prevent any further problems?
