I'm worried about this small hole on my back that's been causing me some trouble lately. It hurts a bit and sometimes pus comes out, along with a really unpleasant smell. It's been going on for a few months now. Should I be worried? What could this be, and do I need to see a doctor?

I'm really worried about my husband. He's been scratching his private parts for years now, and he says using prickly heat powders or itching creams helps for a bit, but it's only temporary relief. He insists it's just a habit and nothing's wrong, so he doesn't see a point in visiting a doctor. But honestly, it feels off to me. Could this be a sign of something serious? Should he actually get it checked out? Is there anything I should be doing or suggesting to him?

This could be fungal infection u need to evaluate with your Dermatologist and get appropriate treatment with oral antifungal medications and topical lotions,once the infection is resolved your hair fall would come down,I suggest you not to use minoxidil with active fungal infection,above this your personal hygiene care is more important.

I live abroad in Saudi Arabia and recently purchased Pigmanorm cream, which contains hydroquinone, for my melasma and dyspigmentation. After using it for 3 days, the area where I applied it turned really red. I'm quite worried about this reaction, even though I'm also using Eveline sunscreen SPF 50 in the afternoons. Should I stop using the cream, or should I continue? And will the redness on my skin go away on its own? I'm also sharing a picture of my face and the cream I used to help you understand better. Can you guide me on what to do next?

I've been using Doxycycline 100mg, deriva bpo gel, and saslic ds face wash as part of my skincare routine for about 15 days now, just like my dermatologist suggested, and they want me to continue for another 15 days. But I've noticed my face is getting darker, especially around the eyes, which I think could be hyperpigmentation from the deriva bpo. Even though my doctor saw the pictures and thinks I should keep going, I'm really worried about this change. What should I do?
