I'm noticing these two long, red, thick lines forming on my stomach and one on my left upper arm. They're getting more pronounced and resemble a scar, almost like someone cut me with a knife. I'm really puzzled because they don't look like stretch marks to me. Can you help me figure out what kind of skin issue this might be?

Can I put betanovate gm cream on my genital area? My scrotum and penis are itching really bad. I tried setrabate after an online doctor recommended it, but the itching hasn't stopped. The doctor also suggested betanovate gm or hhzole, but the pharmacist said betanovate gm is better. I'm also using candidforce 100, which helps with the itch, but when I stop, the itching comes back, and it makes me feel like cutting things off. Any advice on what I should do?

Continue all the medications, hhzole cream for local application for 2-3 weeks, tab canditral 100mg once daily for 3 weeks and tab levocetrizine 10 mg at bedtime for 7 days after food.

I've noticed this red and purple bruise under my belly on the right side, and I'm stumped about how it got there. Should I be worried about this? Is there something in particular that could cause a bruise to appear without injury?

The symptoms you are describing could be due to a minor trauma or injury that you may not remember. To help with the bruising and pain, you can take over-the-counter pain relievers like acetaminophen. Additionally, you can apply a cold compress to the area to reduce swelling and pain. If the bruise does not improve or if you experience any other concerning symptoms, please follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation.
