I'm dealing with some sores on my penis and scrotum that started about a week ago, and there's a lot of itchiness too. Can you help me figure out what's going on?

You may be experiencing symptoms of a fungal infection. I recommend using an antifungal cream such as Clotrimazole (brand name Lotrimin) twice a day on the affected areas. Additionally, you can take an oral antifungal medication such as Fluconazole (brand name Diflucan) 150mg as a single dose. Make sure to keep the area clean and dry to help with healing.

Does burnt hair grow back?

It entirely depends on level the burn took place. For mild burns hair regrowth usually takes places once the scalp gets healed.

I've been dealing with a persistent fever of around 102 F for the last couple of days and got my blood checkedturns out its viral fever. Now, even though the fevers gone, I've started getting really itchy skin, especially when I lie down. It's mostly on the soles of my feet and palms, but there are no rashes or redness. Im struggling to sleep at night because of this itchiness. Any idea what might be causing this?
