I've been struggling with darkening of my inner thighs and pubic area and I'm not sure if it's because of masturbation or some other issue. On top of that, my foreskin seems really loose. Can you help me understand what's going on and if there's anything I can do to improve these problems?

To lighten dark inner thighs and pubic area, you can use a cream containing hydroquinone and kojic acid. Apply it once daily for a few weeks. For your loose foreskin and related issues, you may benefit from using a steroid cream like Betamethasone. Apply a thin layer twice a day for a few weeks to help tighten the foreskin.

I've been dealing with this pitryasis rosea thing since last week. The doctor said it might take a few months to clear up and gave me some mild soap and lotion. But now the first rashes are turning brown and feel bumpy and scaly. It's like I can feel them raised on my skin. They look really bad, and it doesn't seem like they're going away anytime soon. Is this normal? What should I expect, and is there anything else I can do?
It is normal for the rash in pityriasis rosea to evolve over time, with the initial rash often becoming darker in color and developing a scaly texture. To help alleviate the symptoms and promote healing, you can consider using a mild corticosteroid cream like Hydrocortisone 1% twice a day on the affected areas. Additionally, taking an antihistamine like Cetirizine 10mg once daily can help with any itching. Make sure to continue using the prescribed mild soap and lotion as well. If the symptoms persist or worsen, consult your doctor for further evaluation and management.
