I'm dealing with these anal warts and have been using podowart paint every week, but recently, I've noticed the warts are staying wet, and there's a foul smell coming from them. Could you tell me what's going on and if there's anything I can do to fix this?

Anal warts can be uncomfortable and embarrassing.
Podowart Paint
- Continue treatment: Podowart paint contains podophyllotoxin, which helps remove warts. Continue applying it once a week as directed.
- Monitor progress: Keep track of any changes in the warts' size, shape, or color.
Additional Measures
- Keep the area clean: Wash the affected area with mild soap and warm water to reduce bacterial growth and odor.
- Dry the area thoroughly: After washing, dry the area completely to prevent moisture buildup.
- Use a mild antiseptic: Apply a mild antiseptic cream or solution to the affected area to help reduce bacterial growth and odor.
- Avoid scratching: Scratching can irritate the skin, making the warts more prone to bleeding and infection.
- Wear loose, breathable clothing: Tight clothing can trap moisture and irritate the skin.

View allI've noticed several soft, movable lumps on my hands and legs that my doctor said are lipomas. I'm really not keen on surgery are there any other ways to shrink or remove them naturally? What options might work for something like this?
Lipomas are benign fatty growths that usually don't require treatment. While surgery is a common treatment option, there are no known natural methods to shrink or remove them. If you are concerned about the appearance or discomfort of your lipomas, a dermatologist or surgeon can discuss other options, such as liposuction, which may be less invasive than surgical removal

I'm really worried about my penis; there's this redness on the forehead of the skin and some small red bumps on the side. There's no itching or fluid, but it burns and irritates. I've been using Candida B, Onbet, and T Bact ointments and have tried various creams, but nothing seems to help. My skin is scratching and there's a red rash. What should I do?
This could be fungal infection u need to evaluate with your Dermatologist and get appropriate treatment with oral antifungal medications and topical lotions,once the infection is resolved your hair fall would come down,I suggest you not to use minoxidil with active fungal infection,above this your personal hygiene care is more important.

I've been having this horrible itching that started in my hands, feet, and vaginal area about a week ago. I took levocetirizine for four days, and though it seemed to help a bit, the itching came back around day three. Now its spread to my upper back and chest. It's really uncomfortable and bothering me a lot. Could you please guide me on what might be happening and what I can do to relieve this itching?
Since you have already taken levocetirizine without much relief, I recommend trying a different antihistamine such as Fexofenadine (Allegra) or Hydroxyzine (Avil). Additionally, you can apply a soothing lotion containing Calamine to the itchy areas for relief. If the itching persists, it is advisable to consult a dermatologist for further evaluation and management.
