I've been experiencing a lot of itching near the joints of my hips and legs, and there's some discharge too. It feels like it's getting worse. Could this be a fungal infection? What should I do about it?

I'm really worried because I accidentally spilled boiling milk on my right palm and fingers. Ive been in so much pain despite keeping it in cold water for 30 minutes. I even used some silverex silver nitrate gel, but the burning just isn't going away. There aren't any blisters or peeling skin, but it seems to be swollen. Can you help me figure out what to do next?

I've been having a really tough time with what I think is ringworm around my anus. They've got those classic round ring-like patterns, and it's been going on for around 2 months now. I've been using Terbinaforce cream and Kencel IT 100 tablets, but they haven't done much to help. The itching is so intense, and sometimes I scratch so much that my skin actually gets cut. I'm really not sure what to do next and could use some guidance. What do you recommend?

Candid cream for local application is advised for 3 weeks, along with tab flucanozole 150 mg once a week for 2 weeks is advised to the patient.
