I've been dealing with itching around my testicles for about three months now and the cream my doctor suggested hasn't really helped. I'm getting worried and wonder what else I could do to help with this issue. Do you have any advice on how to improve this situation?

Use an antifungal cream like Clotrimazole on the affected areas. Take guidance from a doctor to determine the frequency of application. Additionally, keeping the area clean and dry, wearing loose-fitting underwear made of breathable fabric, and avoiding scratching the area can also help alleviate the itching. If the symptoms persist or worsen, please follow up with your doctor for further evaluation.

View allI've been experiencing this really annoying itch on my scalp, especially at the back, whenever I apply any type of hair oil. I've tried different ones like almond and mustard oil, but nothing seems to help. I actually went to a dermatologist who said my scalp looks fine and advised me to stop using hair oil altogether. But I'm still curious why this itch happens only with oils. Is there something else I should be doing or trying?
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've had this small, hard lump near my groin on the left leg for the past 34 days and I'm getting a bit worried. It seemed like it might've been a hair follicle issue at first, but those usually clear up in a day or two, and this one's just sticking around. Recently, I had a fever and went to the doctor who gave me some red liquid and pills, probably antibiotics, but I'm not sure if they're related to the lump or something else. Im generally pretty healthy with no other medical issues, so I'm not sure what this could mean. Should I see a dermatologist or a urologist about this? Any advice would be really appreciated.

I've got a raised mole on my upper lip and really want it gone, but I'm worried about scarring. A couple of doctors mentioned that removing it with a laser might leave a scar the size of the mole, and I'm trying to avoid that. Is there any way to get it off with little to no scarring? I'm sharing a picture with this. Any advice would be appreciated.
One option to consider is a surgical excision where the mole is cut out with a scalpel. This method can minimize scarring if done carefully by a skilled dermatologist or plastic surgeon. Another option is cryotherapy, where the mole is frozen off using liquid nitrogen. This method may also result in minimal scarring. I recommend consulting with a dermatologist to discuss these options and determine the best course of action for your specific case.
