I'm really concerned because my urologist told me I have molluscum contagiosum, but he didn't mention any treatments. Is there something I should be doing or looking into to help with this?

I've been dealing with this dry patch on my inner upper thigh that's making me a bit concerned. It's flaky, white, and it keeps itching which is kind of uncomfortable. I've noticed it for the past few days. My thighs are pretty close together, and I usually just use regular soap when I shower. Could something like my soap be causing this, or is it more likely due to my thighs rubbing together? What can I do to get rid of this dryness and itching?

It sounds like you may be dealing with a fungal infection, such as jock itch. I recommend using an antifungal cream like Luliconazole twice a day on the affected area for 2-4 weeks. Additionally, keeping the area clean and dry, wearing loose-fitting clothing, and avoiding tight underwear can help with the healing process.

I've been dealing with this really itchy scalp issue, and it's getting worse. Whenever I scratch my scalp, these tiny crystals or granules come out under my nails. There's also a plaque-like thing on my scalp, and because of it, my hair is falling out and I feel even more itchy. It's really frustrating. What could be causing this and what should I do?

To help with the itching and flaking, you can try using a medicated shampoo containing coal tar or salicylic acid. Make sure to leave the shampoo on for at least 5-10 minutes before rinsing off. Additionally, you can use a topical corticosteroid solution on the affected areas of your scalp. It is important to follow the instructions provided with these products and use them regularly for best results.

I've been using Memopi HC for around 6 years, and it's helped improve my complexion quite a bit. But when I stop using it, my whole face turns red. I'm worried and curious to find out if there's anything else I can try, maybe something more natural, to help with my complexion? What could be causing this redness, and how can I manage it?

Kozicare cream is advised.Side-effects include itching and hypersensitivity reactions
