I've been noticing there's a white spot on one of my nails lately. I have diabetes and hypertension, so I'm a bit worried. Could this be related, and how can I treat it? What would you suggest I do next?

I'm dealing with this jock itch, also known as daad, and it's really bothering me. I've attached some pics for you to see. I've tried using Ring Gard Aloe Vera cream and even Nycil, but nothing seems to help. Could you let me know what this is and what I should do about it?

I'm dealing with really dry skin on my face, but it's weird because it's only in certain areas and it's turning whitish. I already have a gel called Clinmiskin that I used for my pimples before, and it worked great. But now that the pimples are gone, can I use the same gel for the dry and whitish skin on my face?

I'm feeling this persistent heat on my face, and it's making my eyes feel really irritated and burning. I already saw a doctor, and he suggested I do some blood and urine tests. All my test results came back normal, so the doctor said there's nothing wrong and I shouldn't worry about it. But the thing is, I still feel this heat on my face. I'm not sure what's going on or what I should do next. Any advice?
