I'm really worried because the skin on the tip of my penis has become dry and seems to have an allergic reaction. There's even some white discoloration around the urinary area. The skin sometimes cracks when I try to retract my foreskin and it gets really painful, even to the point where it bleeds. Could this be a fungal infection, and is there any cream or treatment you would recommend?

View allI'm dealing with a hair fall issue, and my doctor suggested using Diprovate Plus. The problem is, I've forgotten exactly how I'm supposed to use it. Should I be applying it directly to the scalp? I'm really unsure and a bit concerned about using it wrong. Could you guide me on this?
YES it can used.

I've got this really bad pain and swelling going on in one of my toes, and I'm pretty sure it's due to an ingrown nail. I'm not sure who I should see about this. What kind of doctor or specialist would be the best to consult for something like this? Also, what kind of treatment should I expect or ask for?
Consult a podiatrist or a dermatologist for ingrown toenail treatment, which may involve soaking, trimming, or surgically removing the nail, and in severe cases, antibiotics or partial nail avulsion may be prescribed.

I've been dealing with this fungal skin issue on my butt crack, and it's really bothering me. I'm using terbinafin cream, but I'm wondering if there's another ointment I should try. Do you think taking tablets would help as well? I'd appreciate any advice you might have.
For fungal skin conditions like the one you have described, in addition to terbinafine cream, you can also apply clotrimazole cream twice a day to the affected area. It is important to keep the area clean and dry to prevent further fungal growth. As for oral tablets, you can consider taking fluconazole 150mg once a week for 2-4 weeks, but it is best to consult with a healthcare professional before starting any oral antifungal medication. Make sure to wear loose-fitting cotton underwear and avoid tight clothing to promote air circulation.
