I'm struggling with a persistent fungal infection on my skin. I'm using NuforceGM cream but the itching just won't go away. It looks like a ring with red spots. I've been dealing with this for quite a while. What do you think would help?

It seems like the fungal infection is not responding well to the current treatment. I recommend trying a combination antifungal cream like Lotrimin Ultra cream. Apply it twice a day on the affected area for at least 2 weeks. Additionally, you can take an oral antifungal medication like Fluconazole 150mg once a week for 4 weeks to treat the infection from within. Make sure to keep the affected area clean and dry, and avoid wearing tight clothing to help with the healing process.

View allI'm really worried about my ongoing urticaria after being diagnosed with dengue last year. I'm currently seeing a dermatologist and taking Allegra, Famocid, and Doxepin, but it's impacting me mentally too. I'm planning on starting IVF soon, and I'm concerned if this condition might interfere with fertility treatments. Could you help me understand if urticaria could be a problem for IVF?
Your urticaria should not hinder your IVF treatments directly, and your current medications (Allegra, Famocid, and Doxepin) are not typically known to interfere with fertility. However, its always best to consult your fertility specialist about your full medication list. The psychological aspect of dealing with chronic urticaria is valid, and managing stress will be important for both your overall well-being and fertility treatment success.

I've noticed that my skin tone has gotten darker over the years. I used to have a lighter, whitish complexion until around ages 10 or 11, but it's changed gradually since then. I went to a dermatologist who recommended a skin lightening cream called Declipse, but I've been using it for a month without seeing much improvement. I'm feeling a bit concerned and unsure what to do next. Any advice would be really appreciated!

I'm really concerned about some changes I've noticed on the skin of my penis head. It's been about 1.5 years and I've developed wrinkles in that area ever since I got married. Before marriage, I had this one encounter at a spa involving dry humping and a hand jobno actual intercourse. Since getting married, I've completely stopped any such activities. Could these changes in the skin be an STD, or are they possibly a result of having intercourse with my wife? There's no burning or redness, but I'm worried and would appreciate some advice. I've also taken some pictures to help explain my situation.
