I've been dealing with dead skin on my penis foreskin for about a year now. There's a lot of itching and scratching in that area, and it's really uncomfortable. I've seen a skin specialist four times, and each time they've given me a different treatment. I've used Castellani's paint and AF 400 mg, then Daktar gel with AF 400 mg, and more recently, normal saline and Onabet for 15 days. But nothing's working, and I'm really worried. What do you think I should do next?

Since the previous treatments have not shown improvement, I recommend trying a combination of Clotrimazole cream (such as Canesten) twice daily on the affected area and taking Fluconazole 150 mg once a week for 4 weeks. Additionally, practicing good hygiene, keeping the area clean and dry, and avoiding irritants can also help in managing the condition.

I'm dealing with this constant pinching and sensation under my right armpit that even extends to my right chest area. It's been going on for months and no matter what I do, it just doesn't seem to go away. I'm really worried and can't figure out what's causing it. Any advice on what this might be and what steps I should take?

probably due to nerve irritation, muscle strain, or lymph node involvement. Since the issue has been ongoing for months, its essential to consult a doctor for a detailed evaluation. Early diagnosis can rule out serious causes like tumors or systemic conditions and help provide effective treatment

I'm really worried because my wife took the i-pill about 20 hours ago and now she's got these small blisters on her back and buttocks. Should I be seeing a dermatologist about it or will they just go away on their own eventually? Also, any tips on what we can do in the meantime to help with the itching?
