I've been dealing with this really annoying itching all over my body for the past week. I'm not sure what's causing it and it's really starting to bother me. Any idea what might be going on or what I should do about it?

You may be experiencing a condition called urticaria, also known as hives. To help relieve the itching, you can take cetirizine (brand name Zyrtec) 10mg once daily. Additionally, you can apply calamine lotion to the affected areas for soothing relief. If the itching persists or worsens, please follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.

I'm really worried because the skin on the tip of my penis has become dry and seems to have an allergic reaction. There's even some white discoloration around the urinary area. The skin sometimes cracks when I try to retract my foreskin and it gets really painful, even to the point where it bleeds. Could this be a fungal infection, and is there any cream or treatment you would recommend?
