I'm feeling really uncomfortable because yesterday night I scratched my testicles and now they're all red and have rashes. I tried putting some coconut oil on them, but it hasnt really helped much. Could you suggest any medicine or treatment that might work?

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.

Can I put betanovate gm cream on my genital area? My scrotum and penis are itching really bad. I tried setrabate after an online doctor recommended it, but the itching hasn't stopped. The doctor also suggested betanovate gm or hhzole, but the pharmacist said betanovate gm is better. I'm also using candidforce 100, which helps with the itch, but when I stop, the itching comes back, and it makes me feel like cutting things off. Any advice on what I should do?

Continue all the medications, hhzole cream for local application for 2-3 weeks, tab canditral 100mg once daily for 3 weeks and tab levocetrizine 10 mg at bedtime for 7 days after food.

I've noticed these dark brown patches on my feet and ankles for the last few months. They're just therenot itching or spreading, but I'm kind of worried because they havent changed at all. Any idea what might be causing this and what I should do about it?

Dark spots and patches on your feet and ankles could be due to a condition called venous stasis dermatitis, which is caused by blood leaking out of veins and pooling under the skin, leaving behind a residue of hemoglobin that shows up as brown or rust-colored stains. Another possible cause is hemosiderin staining, which is a symptom of chronic venous insufficiency, a condition where veins have trouble sending blood back to the heart. To address this issue, consider elevating your legs when sitting or lying down, wearing compression stockings, and avoiding long periods of standing or sitting. It's essential to consult a doctor or dermatologist to determine the underlying cause and receive proper treatment, which may include lifestyle changes, medication, or laser treatment to fade the discoloration.
