I'm noticing that the skin around my inner thighs has darkened and it's gotten really itchy. The area is super dry, and when I scratch it, the skin starts shedding. It's quite uncomfortable. Do you know what might be causing this or how I can treat it?

I started feeling an itch on my testicles a couple of days ago and ended up rubbing the area quite a bit. Now there's a wound from the rubbing and it's pretty painful, especially when I move. What should I do about this? Is it something to be worried about or will it heal by itself?

I've got these spots from the middle of my calf down to my ankles and feet. Some of them look like broken blood vessels, and others are this brownish, almost rust color. Is this something I should be worried about, or is it normal?

Calamine lotion for local application is advised for 7 days once daily .
