I've been dealing with really dry skin on my face and some pretty intense dark circles. There's also this dark line across my nose and a patch near it that just won't go away. I'm already on a six-month treatment for pimples that my doctor assured would help with the dark spots too, but I'm not actually seeing any change. What should I do?

View allI'm having this really annoying issue where my scrotum gets super itchy, especially at night. It's been happening for a few months now. The itchiness kind of eases up after I rub it, but it also seems to make it more prone to itching later on. What could be causing this, and should I be worried?
An itchy scrotum can be uncomfortable and concerning. Possible Causes 1. Jock Itch (Tinea Cruris): A fungal infection that thrives in warm, moist environments. 2. Seborrheic Dermatitis: A skin condition causing scaly, itchy, and red patches. 3. Eczema (Atopic Dermatitis): A chronic skin condition characterized by dry, itchy, and inflamed skin. 4. Contact Dermatitis: An allergic reaction or irritation caused by soaps, detergents, or other substances. 5. Scabies: A parasitic infection caused by the scabies mite. 6. Nutritional Deficiencies: Deficiencies in vitamins like B12 or minerals like zinc can cause itchy skin. Symptoms and Characteristics 1. Itching worsens at night: This is common in cases of jock itch, scabies, or eczema. 2. Itching reduces after rubbing: This might provide temporary relief but can also lead to further irritation and itching. 3. Itch-prone skin: This could be a sign of an underlying skin condition or allergy. What to Do Next 1. Consult a Doctor: Schedule an appointment with your primary care physician or a dermatologist to determine the underlying cause of your itchy scrotum. 2. Keep the Area Clean and Dry: Practice good hygiene, and avoid sharing personal care items. 3. Avoid Scratching and Rubbing: Try to resist the urge to scratch or rub the affected area, as this can exacerbate the condition. 4. Apply Topical Creams or Ointments: Over-the-counter creams or ointments, such as hydrocortisone or calamine lotion, can help soothe the skin and reduce itching. 5. Consider Antifungal or Antibacterial Treatments: If your doctor suspects a fungal or bacterial infection, they may prescribe antifungal or antibacterial medications

I'm worried because I've been taking terbest for five days now, but I'm not feeling any better. This infection is close to my eyes and the same kind of infection is happening near my neck and under my leg. Could this spread to my eyes, and is there anything else I should be doing?

I'm curious about what happens when you eat milk and milk products along with fish. Can this combo cause skin issues or any other health problems?
Eating milk or milk products with fish is generally safe and does not cause skin diseases or major health issues. The idea of such a combination causing problems is a myth, but if you have specific allergies or sensitivities, it could lead to mild digestive discomfort.
