I'm really worried about something that seems to be going on down there. I got married recently and since then, Ive had unprotected sex multiple times. A few times, I used mustard oil for lubrication, and now Ive noticed these red pimple-like bumps on my penis shaft and under the skin. Theyre completely red and seem to be spreading. Could this be because of the mustard oil, or is it possible that Ive picked up an infection?

I've been dealing with severe itching around my panty lines, and I'm seeing these round ring-shaped boils. The skin around the itchy area is also turning darker. I've been trying to keep it dry, and this has been going on for about 2 weeks now. I'm using SURFAZSN cream, and if I skip applying it, things just get worse. Can you help me figure out what's happening and what I should do?

I'm really worried about my mom. She's been dealing with ringworm on her butt for about two months now, and it's just not getting any better. We visited a skin doctor who gave us a prescription, but that hasn't helped at all. She's getting more and more frustrated with the constant itching, irritation, and those red rashes. What else can we do to help her find relief?

Candid cream for local application is advised for 3 weeks, along with tab flucanozole 150 mg once a week for 2 weeks is advised to the patient.
