Question

I'm dealing with a really painful rash on my scrotum that feels almost like it's turning into a wound. It's super uncomfortable and I'm not sure what to do. Can you help me figure out some remedies or advice on what steps I should take? I'm in a lot of pain and just need some guidance.

I recommend using an antifungal cream such as Clotrimazole (Canesten) twice a day on the affected area. Additionally, keeping the area clean and dry, wearing loose cotton underwear, and avoiding any potential irritants can help with the healing process. If the rash does not improve or if you develop any other symptoms, please follow up with a healthcare provider for further evaluation.

Question

I've been dealing with white, dry patches around my groin area, including on the scrotum and penis. I was diagnosed with a fungal infection a few months ago and took medication which cleared up the infection, but the dryness and skin flaking haven't gone away. Any ideas on what might be causing this or how I can treat it? I'm kind of worried about it.

Question

I'm really concerned about the pimples I get just before my menstruationthey used to go away but now they're kind of a constant thing. I've been trying to avoid junk food and sugar, and I'm using calamine and a salicylic acid face wash, but they just won't clear up. Recently, I've been getting these large pimples on my cheeks that swell up but don't really hurt. After a few days, they form a head and start leaking pus and blood. Could this be a sign of type 2 diabetes?

I got bitten by a rat on my finger last night. It feels like a needle pinch at that spot. The doctor gave me abhayrab and a tt shot. Do I need something else?
