I'm getting a little concerned about some lumps I discovered on my back above my waist. They've been there for about 3 years now. I spoke to a doctor earlier, and they thought they were just fat lumps, but I'm starting to worry. Could these lumps be something more serious like cancer, or might they cause other problems for me down the line?

View allI've been dealing with this persistent itching on my inner thigh near the scrotum and it's really bothering me. I took the capsule Canditral for about 20 days and used the dermikem OC tube, which seemed to help. But after I stopped using them, the itching and those red, itchy spots came back after just 10 days. Do you think this could be Jock itch? What medication would you recommend for something like this?
Your symptoms suggest a fungal infection like Jock itch (tinea cruris); consider consulting a dermatologist for a definitive diagnosis

I had an incident last year where I was playing cricket and got hit in my right testicle by a ball. I experienced pain for about two weeks and used cold water to help manage it. The pain has gone now, but I've noticed that my right testicle hangs lower than my left one. Is this something I should be worried about? Do you think I need to see a doctor?
I understand your concern about the injury to your right testicle. Possible Causes of the Difference in Testicle Position 1. Hematoma or Blood Accumulation: After the injury, blood may have accumulated in the scrotum, causing the testicle to hang lower. 2. Testicular Atrophy: The injury may have caused damage to the testicle, leading to atrophy (shrinkage) or a change in its position. Yes, it's highly recommended that you consult a doctor, preferably a urologist, to assess the situation and provide guidance.

I have this boil on my right thigh that's been bothering me for the last three days. The skin around it is really red and it's pretty painful. What kind of antibiotic should I consider for this? I'm a bit worried.
For the boil on your thigh, along with the redness and pain, you can take an antibiotic like Amoxicillin-Clavulanate (brand name Augmentin) 625mg twice a day for 7-10 days. Additionally, you can also apply an over-the-counter antibiotic ointment like Neosporin to the affected area to help with the healing process.
