I've been dealing with itching and rashes in my private area for about a month now, and it's getting really bothersome. Because of the lockdown, I haven't been able to see a doctor. Is there anything I can do to help with this at home, or should I be worried about something more serious?

Itchiness and rashes in the private area for a month can be due to a fungal infection. You can try using an over-the-counter antifungal cream like Clotrimazole 1% cream. Apply it twice a day for 2 weeks. Keep the area clean and dry. If there is no improvement or if it worsens, please consult a doctor for further evaluation and management.

I've had my piercing for about 5 months now, and a week after getting it, this bump showed up that hasn't gone away. It kind of looks like a pimple. Ive been trying to get rid of it by using a neem stick, but each time I put in a new stick, the bump seems to get aggravated again. Whats going on with that? Why isn't it healing? What should I do to help it improve?

I'm really struggling with acne and pigmentation issues that I've had for the past two months. My doctor put me on zithrox 250 three times a week for three months, and I'm using acnicin sunscreen and acne uv gel with SPF 30, plus a hyperpigmentation cream with tyrodin, kojic acid, arbutin, vitamin C, and vitamin E. The acne's cleared up, but I still have some marks and scars left, especially on my cheeks. Any advice on what I can do next?

I've noticed three dark moles suddenly showing up on my foreskin over the last couple of days. They're about 6mm, 5mm, and 4mm in size and are really close to each other. They don't itch or hurt, and I haven't had any other issues with them. But, I've been dealing with a UTI for a few months now. Should I be worried about these moles? Could they be a sign of some kind of skin cancer? I'm feeling pretty anxious about it.
