I've been dealing with this issue for almost 10 months now. I've tried several over-the-counter antifungal creams, and they seem to cure the problem temporarily, but the infection comes back after a few weeks. I've also taken oral antifungal medication. What could be causing this recurring problem, and what should I do next to finally get rid of it?

I've had this painless rash on the head of my penis for the last month that's sometimes itchy. It keeps disappearing and then coming back. About six weeks ago, I had unprotected sex. Could this be a sexually transmitted disease?

It is recommended to get tested for STDs to rule out any infections. In the meantime, you can use an antifungal cream like Clotrimazole 1% twice a day on the affected area for 2 weeks. If the symptoms persist or worsen, please follow up with a healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.

I've accidentally torn off a piece of my nail at the base of my thumb, and now half of my lunula is still there, but the other half is missing along with the nail. The exposed nail bed is kind of raised and red. I'm really worried about how long it's going to take to heal and whether my lunula is going to grow back to look like it did before or if it's just going to grow over with clear nail. Any insights on what I can expect?

The healing time for a ripped nail at the base of the thumb can take around 6-12 weeks for the nail bed to fully recover, and 3-6 months for the nail to regrow completely; as for the lunula, it's likely that the exposed area will fill in with new nail growth, but the shape and appearance of the lunula might be altered, and it may not perfectly restore to its original half-moon shape.
