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."

I've been dealing with this stubborn fungal infection for almost 45 months now. It's between my legs near the private area and on my buttocks. Initially, it started as red patches but then turned white. My friend, who's a doctor, suggested I try IT Mac 100 tablets and ketonate cream. After sticking to this treatment for 15 days, though, the itchiness is just as bad as before. It's driving me crazy and is super annoying. Can you recommend something more effective?
Consider consulting a dermatologist for personalized advice, but based on your symptoms, a suitable treatment might include oral antifungals like Fluconazole (150mg once a week for 2-4 weeks) or Itraconazole (100mg twice a day for 2-4 weeks), combined with topical antifungals like Clotrimazole or Miconazole cream, and practicing good hygiene

I've been dealing with some psychological issues recently and ended up with several blade cuts on my leg. Things are better now, but the cuts left a lot of marks. The scars aren't too deep since the blades only grazed the outer layer, but multiple cuts caused quite a noticeable scar. I'm looking for some advice on which ointment might help peel off dead skin and promote fresh skin growth. My skin's become extremely dry around those marks too. Could you suggest something that might help me with this issue?
