I'm really worried about my husband. His private area keeps itching all the time and when he scratches, it gets red and painful. The doctor gave him a soap and cream, and when he uses the cream, it doesn't itch. But as soon as he stops using it, the itching comes back. Were really looking for a permanent solution. What should we do?

For any medicine to show effect it should be used properly as per the doctor's instructions.So have patience and use it to its full extent.Even then if you didn't see any change then ask your doctor for oral medication

I'm dealing with a hemorrhoid on my face, specifically on my cheek, and sometimes it causes an allergic reaction. I'm thinking about getting it removed, but I'm worried about potential problems afterward, like scarring or marks being left behind. Can you advise me on this?

I've been struggling with acne marks on my face, and once they heal, the scabs leave behind fresh pink skin that doesn't blend in well with the rest of my face. It takes forever for these spots to lighten up or become less noticeable. This whole situation has really hit my confidence hard. I feel embarrassed to go out and often end up avoiding social gatherings because of it. I'm basically drained emotionally by all this. Is there anything I can do to help make these marks fade faster or blend better?
