I'm really worried because I think I might have a ringworm on the shaft of my penis. The skin feels really rough, and I'm not sure what ointment to use. Could you recommend something for this?

View allI've noticed that my fingertips, right above the nails, have been itching nonstop for the past couple of days. I haven't come into contact with anything unusual, like spices or other common irritants, that might be causing this. I'm starting to worry a bit because it's not getting any better. Could you give me some advice on what might help or if I should be concerned?
Itching on the fingertips, especially just above the nails, can be caused by various factors. Since you haven't come into contact with any known irritants, here are some potential causes and suggestions: Potential Causes 1. Dry skin: Dryness can cause itching, especially during colder months or with excessive handwashing. 2. Eczema: Eczema can cause itching, redness, and dryness on the skin. 3. Contact dermatitis: Although you mentioned no known irritants, it's possible that you may have come into contact with something that caused a reaction. 4. Fungal infections: Fungal infections like paronychia can cause itching, redness, and swelling around the nail. so consult dermatologist

I've had this white mark on my skin where I used to place a bindi, and it's been there for about a year. I stopped using the bindi because I thought the glue might be causing it, and switched to sindoor, but that didn't help either. The white spot has grown and now it itches, so I can't even use sindoor or tika on it. I'm 60 years old and I'm worried about what this could be. Could you please advise?
That could be due to allergy,visit dermatologist for appropriate management because that might need nourishing moisturiser and steroid based lotion

I've got this dark chickenpox scar on my nose and it's really bothering me. What treatment options are there to help get rid of it? Any advice would be really helpful.
You can consider using a topical cream containing hydroquinone, such as Melalite cream. Apply a thin layer on the affected area once daily in the evening. Additionally, using a scar-reducing gel like Contractubex can also help in reducing the appearance of the holes. Make sure to follow the instructions provided with the products for best results.
