I've been dealing with this itching problem for almost 25 days now, mostly in the lower part of my body. It started on my thighs and around the genital area. I used Fourderm cream, and the itching in the genital area got better, but my thighs are still really itchy. Now, it's even affecting the area below my knees, with the intensity changing day by day. Some days it seems to get better, and then it comes back. I've also noticed small red spots on my thighs but not below the knees. I'm really worried about what could be causing this and what I should do next. Can you help?

according to your description it can be reccurrent fungal infection please follow these measures 1. Keep the area clean and dry: Wash the affected area with soap and water, and dry it thoroughly, especially after exercising or sweating. 2. Wear breathable clothing: Choose natural fibers like cotton, and avoid tight-fitting clothes that can trap moisture. 3. Use an antifungal powder or spray: Apply an antifungal powder or spray to the affected area, especially after showering or bathing. 4. Wear clean clothes: Wear clean clothes, especially underwear, to prevent the spread of fungal spores. and consult a dermatologist for clear diagnosis

I've been having this issue for the past six months where I notice some white patches on the glans of my penis, which come off easily after washing. Theres also a small red spot inside the foreskin with some light itching. I got a VDRL test done and it came back negative. I've been using zoster ointment, but I'm a bit worried. Whenever I have physical relations, sometimes the glans gets a bit red, and the foreskin seems to shrink and tighten. Should I be concerned about this, and is there anything else I should be doing or looking into?

Probable diagnosis is fungal infection. Candid cream for local application is advised for 2 weeks, along with tab levocetrizine 10 mg orally,daily for 5 days is advised to the patient.

I woke up this morning with a blister filled with what seems like water on my left leg. I'm unsure why this happened or if I need to see a doctor about it. Any ideas on what could have caused this or what I should do?

That could be heat boil or any sort of insect bite, do not try to squeeze it, visit surgeon for appropriate management

I've been noticing that I get these weird recurrent rashes around the time I ovulate. They're either skin-colored or red bumps showing up on my cheeks and forehead. Weird thing is, they clear up on their own by the time my period ends, or sometimes they go away within a week. This happens every month like clockwork. I'm not taking any pills or meds and I'm perfectly healthy otherwise. I did use emergency contraception a few times last year but that's about it. Could there be a connection, or is there something else I should be worried about?

Thats unusual,visit General Physician for appropriate approach.and maintain balanced diet and healthy lifestyle
