I've been dealing with a really itchy scrotum for the past few weeks, and it's driving me crazy. It seems to get worse after I touch it or whenever I sweat, like after sports or working out. I'm not sure if they're connected, but I've noticed the itchiness spreads to my legs, back thighs, and buttocks. Oddly enough, my chest never seems to itch. When I do scratch, the skin gets these raised bumps, but they fade after some time. The scrotum area experiences this too. It's gotten so bad that I've scratched it until it started to sting in the shower. What could be causing this, and how can I stop it?

If the problem persists despite home remedies or worsens, it would be best to consult a healthcare professional or a dermatologist. They may need to perform a skin examination, potentially test for fungal infections or other skin conditions, and provide a more targeted treatment plan. A prescription antifungal or topical steroid treatment might be needed if it's related to a fungal infection or dermatitis.

I got bitten by an acid fly and now I have these big red patches on my neck and face. The doctor I saw mentioned that the marks might not go away. Is there anything I can do to help remove these marks? I'm pretty worried about it.

The marks from acid fly bites can be challenging to remove, but consider consulting a dermatologist for further guidance

I'm starting to get really worried about these skin issues I've been having. My skin's been super itchy, and I'm dealing with these reddish, swollen patches on my hands and feet. It's got this burning sensation, plus the redness has spread to my palms, making it hard and painful to even close my hands. I was given an injection and have been taking Allegra 180, Atarax 10mg, and Zincovit, along with using Lactamine Lotion, but nothing's really helping. Can you suggest any blood tests I should get to figure out what's going on?

go for sensitive test

I'm dealing with really thin and scanty hair, so I went to see a trichologist. They prescribed me Mintop Eva 5 lotion and told me to apply 1ml daily. I'm curious, after putting on the Mintop, is it okay if I put oil on my hair after, say, 3 hours?

Yes you can apply no problem
