Ive been dealing with this really annoying itching on my wrist. Then, after a day, it swelled up a bit. I tried using some turmeric powder and it seemed to help, but the next day the itchiness and the swelling came back, this time on the back of my hand, and the swelling was way worse. It kept getting bigger for about three days. I put some more turmeric paste on it, and now the swellings gone down on my hand but has moved to my fingers. The itchiness is still there, and the swelling is bad and hurts a bit. Could this be from an insect bite? What do you think I should do?

I've been traveling a lot for work lately and I've started getting these pesky blackheads on my nose. I heard somewhere that toothpaste might work to get rid of them, but I'm not sure if that's actually true or if it's safe. Could you tell me if using toothpaste is a good idea for treating blackheads, and if so, how should I use it?

I've noticed the skin under my testicles sometimes gets dry and starts peeling after some painful itching. This seems to happen for a couple of days, then it just goes back to normal with no itch or peeling, but the problem's come back again. Any ideas or suggestions on what's going on?

That looks like fungal infection which needs oral and topical antifungal medication and personal hygiene is the main stay, visit Dermatologist for appropriate management.
