I've been experiencing this strange sensation after walking for about 510 minutes. It feels like a needle prick on my skin, followed by some rashes, but they disappear after like 15 minutes. Any idea what could be going on? Should I be worried about this?

The symptoms you described, a needle prick sensation on the body followed by rashes that resolve within 15 minutes after walking, may indicate Cholinergic Urticaria, a heat-induced allergic reaction that causes hives and itching; other possible causes include Exercise-Induced Urticaria, Stress-Induced Hives, or even an allergic reaction to clothing, detergent, or environmental factors

I've been dealing with a dandruff issue and was told by my dermatologist to use Candid B lotion. I'm a bit unsure about how much of it I should apply. Also, once I put it on, do I need to leave it in, or can it be washed off after some time? Would really appreciate some guidance on this.

I've been dealing with this dry, flaky skin on my scrotum for a couple of months now, and it's really itchy. I had unprotected sex in the past three months, and I'm starting to get worried. Could these be connected? What should I do about it?

You may be experiencing a fungal infection such as jock itch. I recommend using an antifungal cream like Clotrimazole 1% twice daily on the affected area for 2-4 weeks. Additionally, keeping the area clean and dry, wearing loose-fitting underwear, and avoiding scratching will help with the itching and flakiness.
