I'm dealing with some really dry skin issues and I've got this visible white spot in a sensitive area. It's painful between my thighs and around my genital area. I'm worried it might be some kind of fungal infection or maybe scabies. Can I use Vaseline petroleum jelly to help with the dryness, or could that make things worse? I'm just not sure what the best thing to do is.

View allI've noticed that my lips, especially the upper one, are quite pigmented. I'm wondering if a laser treatment would be a good option for me. Also, do you have any idea about how much it might cost?

I've been dealing with this rash that appears on one or both of my upper thighs for years now. It's not always there, but when it shows up, it tends to stick around for months. It usually starts out as one or two small circles and then spreads to a much larger area over a week or two. It's not painful, just a bit elevated. It never scabs or blisters, though it only itches when I scratch it or something touches it. I find it quite unsightly and really want to figure out what this could be. Any ideas?
Candid cream for local application is advised for 3 weeks, along with tab flucanozole 150 mg once a week for 2 weeks is advised to the patient.

I'm really concerned about my 7-year-old son who's just started getting these sudden brown spots on his skin. The first one showed up behind his neck, then another near his collarbone, and now there's one on his ribs. There's no itching or pain, and theyre just plain brown, no other colors like blue or anything. Could you help me figure out what's going on?
