I'm having a skin allergy for the past couple of days with these small red spots and it's quite itchy. I took an Avil tablet the day before yesterday, but it's still bothering me. Should I be worried about this, or try something else?

View allI'm wondering how I can get rid of the blade cut marks on my arm. Is plastic surgery the only option, and if so, what might this treatment cost approximately?
To get rid of blade cut marks on your arm, you can consider using topical silicone gel sheets such as Strataderm. Apply a thin layer over the scar twice daily for at least 60-90 days for best results. Additionally, you can use Mederma cream which contains onion extract and allantoin to help improve the appearance of scars. It is important to apply these products consistently for several months to see noticeable improvement. If the scars are deep and extensive, you may consider consulting a dermatologist for other treatment options such as laser therapy or steroid injections. However, the cost of plastic surgery or other treatments can vary depending on the severity of the scars, the type of procedure needed, and the location of the clinic.

Hey, I'm kind of worried because the skin on the head of my penis is peeling and it's getting red. I'm not sure what to do about it. If anyone has any advice or suggestions, it'd be really helpful.
You may be experiencing symptoms of balanitis, which is inflammation of the head of the penis. I recommend using an antifungal cream such as Clotrimazole (Canesten) twice a day on the affected area after gently cleaning it with warm water. Additionally, keeping the area clean and dry, avoiding irritants such as harsh soaps, and wearing loose-fitting underwear can help with the healing process. If the symptoms persist or worsen, please consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation and management.

I'm dealing with some intense itching between my legs and it's causing this burning sensation, almost like heat. It's also affected my penis, and now the skin has turned really dark and has even started bleeding. What could be going on here? Should I be worried?
Itching between the legs, burning sensation, heat production, blackening of the skin, and bleeding are suggestive of a fungal infection, most likely a jock itch. You can use an antifungal cream like Clotrimazole 1% twice daily on the affected area for 2-4 weeks. Additionally, keeping the area clean and dry, wearing loose-fitting clothes, and avoiding scratching the area will help in faster recovery.
