I've been dealing with an itchy scrotum and these light white plaques on it for almost a year now. I just started using Terbinafine cream a couple of days ago. Any idea what I should do from here? I'm really curious if this treatment is enough or if there's something else I should consider.

I'm really worried because I've had these dry rashes on my palms and feet for about a year and a half now. My doctor prescribed Halovate F, but it seems like it's just making things worse. Should I continue using it or maybe consider some other treatment options? What could these rashes mean? Any advice would be appreciated!
Dry rashes on your palms and feet for such a long duration can be quite bothersome. Halovate F contains the active ingredients Halobetasol and Fusidic Acid, which are used to reduce inflammation and treat skin infections. However, if you are experiencing an increase in symptoms despite using this medication, it may be necessary to consider alternative treatments. I recommend discussing with your doctor about trying a different medication such as Clobetasol propionate cream, which is a potent corticosteroid that can help reduce inflammation and itching associated with skin conditions. The usual dosage is to apply a thin layer to the affected areas once or twice daily. Additionally, it is important to keep your skin well moisturized by using emollients or moisturizers regularly. Avoiding triggers such as harsh soaps, excessive hand washing, or irritants can also help in managing your symptoms. If the rashes persist or worsen, further evaluation by a dermatologist may be necessary to determine the underlying cause and provide appropriate treatment.

I have this boil on my right thigh that's been bothering me for the last three days. The skin around it is really red and it's pretty painful. What kind of antibiotic should I consider for this? I'm a bit worried.
For the boil on your thigh, along with the redness and pain, you can take an antibiotic like Amoxicillin-Clavulanate (brand name Augmentin) 625mg twice a day for 7-10 days. Additionally, you can also apply an over-the-counter antibiotic ointment like Neosporin to the affected area to help with the healing process.
