I've been struggling with psoriasis on my hands, and I'm currently using Acrotac. It doesn't seem to be working anymore, and I'm worried about what to try next that won't come with a bunch of side effects. Could you suggest some alternative treatments or medications? Id really appreciate your advice!

I've been having this really annoying itching problem all over my body that only seems to happen at night. I saw a doctor about it and took the medication they prescribed, but the itching came back. I'm taking cetirizine to try and help with the symptoms, but it's still bothering me a lot. I recently moved to Chennai about 5 months ago. Could this change be affecting me somehow, or is there something else I should consider? Any advice would be appreciated.

I've had this painless rash on the head of my penis for the last month that's sometimes itchy. It keeps disappearing and then coming back. About six weeks ago, I had unprotected sex. Could this be a sexually transmitted disease?

It is recommended to get tested for STDs to rule out any infections. In the meantime, you can use an antifungal cream like Clotrimazole 1% twice a day on the affected area for 2 weeks. If the symptoms persist or worsen, please follow up with a healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.
