I'm having trouble finding Dipsalic F ointment at medical stores since they said it's not being made anymore. I've been using it for an allergic reaction, and nothing else I've tried is as effective. Can you suggest the best substitute for this ointment? I'm really concerned about finding something that works as well.

Since Dipsalic F ointment is unavailable, I'll suggest some alternatives with similar ingredients:
Alternatives with Salicylic Acid and Urea
- Ursal 10% Ointment: Contains urea (10%) and salicylic acid (3%).
- Keralyt 5% Gel: Has salicylic acid (5%) and urea (10%).
- Salex 6% Cream: Contains salicylic acid (6%) and might be suitable for allergic areas.
Other Options
- CeraVe Renewing SA Cleanser: A gentle cleanser with salicylic acid (2%) and hyaluronic acid.
- Eucerin Advanced Repair Cream: A rich moisturizer with urea (10%) and ceramides

I'm dealing with some sores on my penis and scrotum that started about a week ago, and there's a lot of itchiness too. Can you help me figure out what's going on?
You may be experiencing symptoms of a fungal infection. I recommend using an antifungal cream such as Clotrimazole (brand name Lotrimin) twice a day on the affected areas. Additionally, you can take an oral antifungal medication such as Fluconazole (brand name Diflucan) 150mg as a single dose. Make sure to keep the area clean and dry to help with healing.
