I'm really worried about my situation. I've been married for 6 years and have a kid, and recently, the foreskin of my penis has become really dry and reddish. The skin flakes off like dandruff which makes it really uncomfortable and irritating, though there's no itching. This started happening about 3 months ago after I had a yeast infection. I already saw my family doctor and used the cortico cream treatment, but it hasnt gotten any better. I havent had sex in two months because I'm afraid of making it worse or causing more problems. Ive never experienced anything like this before and its truly getting me down. Can you please give me some advice?

Consult a urologist or dermatologist for personalized guidance, and consider self-care measures like gentle cleansing, avoiding irritants, and using fragrance-free products to manage dryness and discomfort.

I've been dealing with this scabies issue for almost 45 months now. I used permethrin and lindane lotion, and that helped a lot, but I'm frustrated because I still have these nodular bumps and persistent itching, especially in my armpits and genitals. I've tried corticosteroid ointments and even oral antiallergics, but nothing seems to fully clear it up. What else can I do to get rid of them and the itching once and for all? I'm pretty concerned about why this is just not going away.

That means there are active mites still present visit dermatologist for complete course of the treatment and councelling regarding preventive measures.

I'm a bit concerned about my health. I've had my vitamin D3 levels checked, and they seem fine, but I'm experiencing a white tongue. It tends to disappear when I eat but then comes back. I've also done some blood tests, and everything seems normal. What could be causing this? Should I be worried about the white tongue even though my tests are normal?

I've been dealing with an itchy butt for nearly 2 months now. There are a few spots that look like bug bites and they hurt and feel like pimples. I also noticed in the inner corner of my anal area, there's something that resembles psoriasisit's scaly, itches, and peels sometimes. The scarring is pretty bad, and I'm feeling self-conscious about wearing a bathing suit since the scars are visible all over my butt. My sister seems to have a similar issue but without the bug bites. We initially thought it might be the vaginal wash we were using, but even after stopping, these issues persist. I have a dog that sleeps with me under the covers, but she's on flea medicine. She also sleeps with my brother, who doesn't have any of these symptoms. Could this be something like scabies, spider bites, flea bites, or even mange? What can I do to soothe the itching and help with the scarring? Are there any over-the-counter meds or natural remedies you'd recommend?
