I'm really worried about my brother. Since yesterday, he's been dealing with really itchy skin and it's been causing some rashes on his back, hands, and thighs. What could be causing this, and what can we do about it?

I'm a guy who sleeps with guys and I've been pretty active when it comes to oral and anal sex, sometimes without protection. I noticed I've got these round red rashes on my palms and feet that don't itch, and they've been around for like six months. I tried allergy meds, but they're not going away. Plus, I've started getting these molluscum contagiosum warts on my chest, elbow, and even my anal area. My serology test came back as weakly reactive for the RPRVDRL test. Could these be early signs of an STD? I'm thinking about trying Benzathine penicillin injections. Do you think it's safe, and are there any side effects I should worry about?

I've been dealing with this skin allergy for the past 10 days, and it's really frustrating because it's spreading to my throat and neck. It's super itchy! I'm taking avil tablets and using clobate ointment, but it doesn't seem to be helping much. Is there anything else I can do to get relief from this itching, or a different treatment I should try? Should I be worried about how it's spreading?

I've got this boil on my scrotum, kind of like it's filled with pus and a bit of blood at the bottom. It doesn't really hurt, but when my thighs rub against it, I get this slight burning sensation. Should I be worried or get it checked out?
