I've been dealing with an allergy-type infection on my penis for about a month now, and it's been getting worse over time. There's this layer that's starting to form on the top part. Can you suggest what I might do about it?

I noticed a big pus-filled bump on my dad's back and when I pressed it, most of the pus came out. I've cleaned it with Savlon and dressed it with Betadine. I started giving him Augmentin 650 yesterday. Could you advise me on what else I should do or if there's something more I should be concerned about?

I'm dealing with this itching issue around the hairy area near my penis and some other parts nearby. Its not super severe, but its to the point where I need candid powder just to get out of bed and feel okay in the mornings. And I can't seem to step outside without a shower first. What's a permanent fix for this? Could you suggest something that can help in the long run?

It sounds like you may be experiencing a fungal infection in the groin area. To treat this condition, you can use an antifungal cream such as Clotrimazole cream twice daily for 2-4 weeks. Additionally, you can take oral antifungal medication like Fluconazole 150mg once a week for 4 weeks. It is important to maintain good hygiene, keep the area clean and dry, and avoid wearing tight clothing. If the symptoms persist or worsen, please consult a doctor for further evaluation and management.
