I've been dealing with these dark, ugly patches after using Sapat lotion on my ringworms a while ago. I'm worried I might have burnt my skin. What's the best way to get rid of these patches?

I've noticed this small hole in my skin, kind of looks like a needle prick. It's not red, but it feels tender to touch, and there's a bump under the skin. When I first saw it, the area was warm. There's no pus, but the bump feels pretty hard. It's not really painful, but it does hurt if I press on it. I'm a bit worried. Do you think this is something I should check out?

That could be insect bite or so..,no need to worry it will subside in a day,if it starts itching or becoming worse,visit your doctor for evaluation and appropriate treatment,you dont attempt to scratch it or squeeze it.

I've been dealing with this constant itching and a kind of pin-pricking sensation on my penis for over two weeks now. The skin's super dry and there are some rashes too. I'm really worried and I'm not sure what to do about it. Any suggestions?

This may be scabies or eczema. Needs urgent attention.

I've been noticing a weird smell on my hands for a while now, probably a few months, and I can't figure out what's causing it. I initially thought it might have been from handling chemicals in my photo class, but that's been ages ago. I also used to bite my nails, but I've stopped doing that and they still have this smell. I'm cleaning them regularly too, so it's really puzzling me. Is there something wrong with my hands? What can I do to make this smell go away?

It sounds like you may be experiencing a condition called "bromhidrosis," which is characterized by a strong, unpleasant odor coming from the skin. To help alleviate this issue, you can try using an antibacterial soap to wash your hands thoroughly. Additionally, applying an antiperspirant containing aluminum chloride to your hands at night can help reduce sweating and odor. If these measures do not improve the situation, you may consider using a prescription-strength antiperspirant like Drysol (20% aluminum chloride hexahydrate) on your hands. Remember to consult with a healthcare professional before starting any new treatment.
