I've been dealing with this severe itching problem around my anal area for a while now. I remember using quadriderm RF cream for a couple of days before, and it used to clear up. But lately, even after applying it, the itching won't go away. I've noticed these dark black skin lines all over the anal area too. Could you recommend any good medications or treatments to help me out with this? I'm really worried and would appreciate some advice.

I've been dealing with a boil just below my waistline and have been using a warm compress three times a day. It popped yesterday and when I took the bandage off this morning, I noticed there's a white scab with some blood. Is it normal for the scab to be white, maybe because of moisture or something?

Yes, it is normal for the scab to appear white, especially after it has been covered with a bandage and exposed to moisture from the warm compress. The white color is due to the accumulation of pus and dead white blood cells at the site of the boil. To help with the healing process, you can continue applying warm compresses to the area and keep it clean. Additionally, you may consider using an over-the-counter antibiotic ointment like Neosporin to prevent infection.

My dad has a nail infection, and we were told to use Loceryl nail lacquer for it. But it seems like none of the pharmacies have it in stock right now. Could you suggest another nail lacquer that might work similarly? I'm a bit concerned about finding the right alternative for him.

I've been using Flutivate ointment for the past month as my doctor recommended. I've noticed some changes in my skin, and I'm a bit concerned about whether this is normal or if I should be worried. Should I keep using it, or is there something else I need to watch out for while continuing with this treatment?
