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 been using Skinshine cream for about 4 months, but I stopped using it 2 months ago and now my face is darker and I've got a lot of pimples. I'm really concerned about what's happening. What should I do?

I'm struggling with this really frustrating dandruff issue. It's weird because it seems like the dandruff is stuck in my hair and not coming out even when I try to shake it loose. My scalp is super dry, which doesn't help. Could you suggest a shampoo, oil, or maybe some other solution that might help with this problem?

I've had these leech bites from a few months ago, and even though I've been putting boroline on them regularly, they just won't go away. They're not super bothersome, but they do itch sometimes, and it's been quite a while now. Should I be worried or try something else?

Seems like the leech bites may have caused some irritation and itching. To help with the healing process and alleviate the itching, you can try applying an over-the-counter hydrocortisone cream like Cortaid. Apply a thin layer on the affected area twice a day for about a week. Additionally, taking an oral antihistamine like Claritin can also help with the itching. Make sure to follow the recommended dosage on the packaging. If the symptoms persist or worsen, it would be best to consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation and management.
