I've been dealing with really rough and dry skin on one of my fingers for the past two years. It almost looks like cracked drought land when I look closely. Sometimes it gets itchy too. What could be causing this, and what can I do about it?

You may be experiencing a condition called eczema. I recommend using a moisturizing cream containing 1% hydrocortisone to help with the dryness and itching. You can apply it to the affected area twice a day for up to 2 weeks. Additionally, you can use a gentle cleanser and avoid harsh soaps to prevent further irritation. If the symptoms persist, it is best to consult a dermatologist for further evaluation and management.

I'm noticing some baldness on the top back of my head and I just stumbled upon this FollicleRx product. I'm curious whether it's actually safe to use. Do I need a prescription to buy it, or can I just get it over the counter? Any advice would be really helpful.

I'm dealing with some serious itching and irritation around my pubic area, and I'm really worried. There are these white or grey spots with light pink in between, and the skin looks different from the surrounding area. It seems like this is spreading to my groin and even affecting my scrotum, which also feels infected. It's really covering a good part of the area between my thighs, and the itching is just unbearable. What could this be, and how should I handle it?
That looks like fungal infection which needs oral and topical antifungal medication and personal hygiene is the main stay, visit Dermatologist for appropriate management.
