I'm having this issue where my right buttock gets really itchy sometimes, and when I touch it, it feels like there's a mosquito bite there, even though I know it's not. The skin looks normal and isn't dry, which is confusing me. Any quick remedies or creams you can suggest to help with the itching?

sounds like you may be experiencing some form of skin irritation or allergy on your right buttock. To help relieve the itching and discomfort, you can try using an over-the-counter antihistamine cream such as Benadryl cream. Apply a thin layer of the cream on the affected area up to 3-4 times a day. Additionally, you can take an oral antihistamine like Claritin to help reduce itching from within. Make sure to keep the area clean and dry to prevent further irritation. If the symptoms persist or worsen, it's best to consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation and management."

Can I use Keto B ointment on my scalp for itching and gaps between my hair? Is it harmful or safe to use?

Keto B ointment, containing ketoconazole, can be used for scalp itching and fungal infections, but for hair gaps, it may not be directly effective; it's generally safe when used as directed, but potential side effects include skin irritation, itching, or dryness; consult a dermatologist before using Keto B ointment on your scalp, especially if you have sensitive skin or allergies.

I've been having these white patches on my scrotal area, and they're itching quite a bit. A friend mentioned it could be a fungal thing, so I tried using some anti-fungal powder. The itching's getting a bit better each day, but the white patches aren't really shrinking. What do you think I should do next?

It sounds like you may be dealing with a fungal infection such as jock itch. In addition to using an antifungal powder, you can also try using an antifungal cream like Clotrimazole 1% cream. Apply it to the affected area twice a day for about 2-4 weeks. Make sure to keep the area clean and dry. If the white patches do not improve or if they worsen, it would be best to consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation and management.
