I've been struggling with a fungal infection on my penis for the past 1.6 years. I've tried using Surfaz cream, which seems to help for a few weeks, but the infection always comes back. I'm really frustrated with this recurring issue. Can you please tell me if there's a permanent solution to get rid of it for good?

I've noticed some white patches on the skin of my testicles, like about an inch big, and sometimes they get itchy. I've been using antifungal powder to try and keep the area dry, but I'm still worried. What could this be, and is there anything else I should be doing?

I've been noticing these red spots on my tongue for almost 10 months now. At first, there weren't many, so I kind of ignored it, thinking it would heal on its own. But now, it's spread all over my tongue, and I'm getting really worried. Could you please help me figure this out and what I should do next?

I've been dealing with some intense skin itching at night ever since I recovered from dengue fever a week ago. It's mostly on my hands and legs and feels more like bump skin rather than a red rash. Could this itching be related to my recent dengue, or should I be worried about another skin issue? I'm really concerned and could use some guidance.

The itching you're experiencing, particularly at night, with bump-like skin on hands and legs, could be a post-dengue complication, but it's essential to consult a dermatologist to rule out other skin conditions, such as urticaria, pruritus, or allergic reactions, and seek guidance on appropriate treatment.
