I've been dealing with scabies for the past 23 weeks, and it's causing a lot of itching, especially at night. It's really bothering me, and I'm not sure what to do next. Is there any advice or treatment you could recommend to help relieve this itching?

For scabies treatment, consider Permethrin 5% cream (e.g., Scabex or Elimite): apply a thin layer from neck to toes, leaving it on for 8-12 hours before washing off, and repeat the treatment in 7-10 days to ensure elimination of mites and eggs;

View allI'm experiencing some itching inside my penis, right from where it begins. It's really uncomfortable and makes me want to masturbate just to get some relief, but the itch doesn't go away. There's no burning when I pee, just this persistent itch. What could be causing this, and how can I make it stop?
This itching sensation inside the penis could be due to a fungal infection. You can try using an antifungal cream like Clotrimazole 1% cream. Apply a thin layer of the cream on the affected area twice a day for about 2 weeks. Additionally, you can take an oral antifungal medication like Fluconazole 150mg as a single dose. Make sure to maintain good hygiene and avoid any irritants that may worsen the itching. If the symptoms persist, it is advisable to consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation and management.

So, my doctor had prescribed me this medication after I had a fractional laser treatment to help with redness. It's been about two months now, and I'm noticing some redness again. I'm worried if it's okay to start taking these tablets once more, or could that lead to any side effects since the doctor initially gave me 40 tablets? Can I reuse this medication safely?
It is safe to use this medication again if you are experiencing redness after 2 months. It is important to follow your doctor's instructions carefully and complete the full course of treatment. If you have any concerns or experience any side effects, please consult your doctor for further guidance.

I'm really struggling with acne and pigmentation issues that I've had for the past two months. My doctor put me on zithrox 250 three times a week for three months, and I'm using acnicin sunscreen and acne uv gel with SPF 30, plus a hyperpigmentation cream with tyrodin, kojic acid, arbutin, vitamin C, and vitamin E. The acne's cleared up, but I still have some marks and scars left, especially on my cheeks. Any advice on what I can do next?
