I'm dealing with these black patches on my butt and groin area, and they're super itchy. When I scratch them, these scalelike bits come off the skin. Do you have any advice on what I can do about this? It's really bothering me.

I'm wondering if I can use Kojivit Ultra cream in the morning, or is it best to only apply it at night? What would you recommend I do? Please let me know!

I'm really worried about this painful bump I have. A friend of mine went to a doctor who tried to squeeze a similar boil-like thing but nothing came out and it was really painful. That doctor prescribed antibiotics and told them to use cold compresses, but I think hot compresses might be more effective. Honestly, I wasn't too impressed with the doctor's approach. Can you help me figure out what this painful, swollen bump might be?

I woke up this morning with a rash that kind of looks like a rat bite. I've noticed a rat in my room before and I've been using rat poison to try to deal with it. I didn't wake up last night and the wound hasn't bled or anything. Should I be worried or do anything about it?
