I'm really worried because I've been dealing with balanitis, specifically candida balanitis, for a while now. About a month ago, my doctor said that's what it is, but I've noticed that whenever my penis gets hard, it turns red, and that's been happening for over six months. I've used surfaz cream and some antibiotics my urologist suggested, which seemed to clear up the infection. But then after seeing a dermatologist for the infection scars, he gave me desonide cream. When I masturbated two weeks later, the red spots came back. I went back to the dermatologist, and now I'm using onabet sd lotion, a fluconazole tablet, and a tablet called dazit. I just want to know how to completely get rid of this condition. I'm also concerned if the redness when my penis is hard is due to the infection. My sugar level is 119, so I don't have diabetes, and I'm 25. What should I do?

I've been dealing with itching on both my hands and legs for the past three days, and I'm worried because there's been no improvement despite taking Allegra 180 mg and Defcort 6 mg. I had typhoid about ten days ago. Could this itching be related to that, or is it something else? I'm not sure if I should change my medication or if there's something else I should try. Any ideas on what's going on?

I'm really worried about these dark spots on my face and I just want to know how I can get a clean and clear complexion without them. Can you give me some advice on what to do? Is there a plan or treatment you recommend to help with this?
I recommend using a combination of topical treatments to help lighten the dark spots on your face. You can try using a cream containing hydroquinone, such as Melalite cream, applied once daily in the evening. In the morning, you can apply a vitamin C serum, such as Celin Vitamin C Serum, to help brighten the skin and reduce pigmentation. Additionally, using a sunscreen with high SPF during the day, like Sunban Ultra Gel, is crucial to prevent further darkening of the spots. Consistency is key, so make sure to follow this regimen daily for best results.
