I'm really worried because I've noticed some redness and warts on the skin of my penis. I think it might be a staph infection, but I'm not entirely sure. Could you please guide me on what kind of doctor I should see for this?

For a staph infection and skin lesions on the penis, consult a dermatologist or a urologist, specifically one specializing in genitourinary medicine, who can assess the condition, provide a proper diagnosis, and recommend effective treatment options, such as antibiotics, antiviral medications, or topical creams, to address the infection and skin lesions

I'm a bit confused about the Halovate F ointment I was prescribed. I'm currently breastfeeding, and I noticed the instructions say it's not recommended for that. I asked the dermatologist again, and she reassured me it's fine. But I just want to be completely sure. Can you shed some light on this?

Halovate F ointment's instructions advise against use during breastfeeding, but your dermatologist reassures it's safe. To be 100% sure, consult another specialist or a lactation expert, considering factors like the ointment's absorption rate and potential effects on milk.

I've been dealing with this itching on my inner thighs and buttocks for the last three months, and I've noticed the same rash on my left-hand wrist and both my right hand and leg joint. I've tried a bunch of antifungal creams and meds like flucan 150mg, cefadroxil 500mg, and Levosiz, and then switched to terbinafine tablets and cream. Been on these for three months now, but there's been no improvement. In fact, the redness got worse over the last four days. Could you help me figure out what's going on and how to get rid of this?
