I'm really concerned about some blade cut marks on my hand. I've got about four or five of them and I'm wondering about the best way to remove them. Can you give me some advice on how to get rid of these marks?

I've been dealing with some white patches near my anus, and occasionally they get quite itchy. It's really frustrating, and I'm not sure what to do about it. Could you suggest any medicine or treatment that might help with this issue? I'm eager to find a solution soon.

The white color near your anus could be due to a fungal infection, such as candidiasis. Here's a possible solution: *Over-the-Counter (OTC) Medications* 1. *Clotrimazole cream*: An antifungal cream that can help clear up the infection. 2. *Miconazole cream*: Another antifungal cream that can be effective. *Home Remedies* 1. *Keep the area clean*: Wash with mild soap and lukewarm water. 2. *Dry the area*: Pat dry with a clean towel. 3. *Wear loose clothing*: Avoid tight clothing that can irritate the area.

I'm worried about the possibility of having sex with my husband while he's still being treated for scabies. He's only put on the cream twice, and we're noticing his skin starting to dry up in those spots. Is it okay for us to be intimate now, or should we wait a bit longer?

It's generally recommended to avoid intimate contact, including sex, until your husband has completed the full scabies treatment course, usually 2-3 applications of permethrin cream, 7-10 days apart, and has been symptom-free for at least 24-48 hours, to minimize the risk of transmission, as scabies mites can survive off the human host for up to 72 hours.
