I'm really struggling with these black spots on my legs and hands, and after taking a bath my skin starts itching and I get rashes that eventually turn into black spots. My face is also affectedthere are small holes and black marks, and since I have a darker complexion, they stand out and look terrible. It's tough because people make fun of me for it. Can you help me figure out what's going on and what I can do about it?

I've been dealing with this constant itching on my balls and noticed there's a light cut on the outer skin of my penis at the top. I've tried a couple of antifungal creams, including itch guard, but nothing seems to work. It's starting to worry meis there something more I should be doing or getting checked out?

I recommend trying a combination antifungal cream containing Clotrimazole and Betamethasone. Apply a thin layer of this cream to the affected areas twice a day for up to 2 weeks. Additionally, keep the area clean and dry, wear loose-fitting underwear, and avoid scratching to prevent further irritation. If the symptoms persist or worsen, please follow up with a healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.

I'm really worried about my hair because whenever I oil my scalp, I get this really sharp pain, almost like someone is pulling my hair. This pain doesnt go away until I wash it off. Is this normal, or should I be concerned about something more serious going on?

Normal.

I'm dealing with Nevus of Ota on my right eye and was being treated at AIIMS Delhi, where I saw a lot of improvement. Unfortunately, I had to stop the treatment because I moved to Bangalore. Could you help me find a good, experienced doctor here in Bangalore for this condition? I'm really looking for someone who can pick up where my treatment left off. Any advice would be appreciated.
