I've been struggling with a skin allergy on my lower back for about three years now, and nothing seems to work. I've tried so many medicines, but I just can't seem to find relief. What should I do? How can I finally solve this problem?

That could be fungal infection which needs both oral and topical antifungal medications and personal hygiene is more important for such condition.

I've been dealing with this itchy red rash that keeps appearing and disappearing, and I sometimes feel a pricking sensation in different parts of my body, especially on my back. On top of that, my tonsils seem to hurt a bit too. Could this be something serious, or is there anything I should be doing to help it?

It sounds like you may be experiencing symptoms of a condition called Urticaria, also known as hives. Hives are red, itchy welts or swellings on the skin that often come and go. The pricking sensation you are feeling in your body parts, especially in the back, could be due to the hives. The slight pain in your tonsils may be related to inflammation or infection. To help relieve your symptoms, you can take an antihistamine such as Cetirizine (brand name Zyrtec) 10mg once daily. Additionally, you can apply a soothing lotion like Calamine to the affected areas to help with the itching. If the symptoms persist or worsen, it is important to follow up with a healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.

I'm a bit worried because I noticed some cuts on the inner skin of my penis after having intercourse last week. It's really dry and itchy now. Could you let me know what's going on and what I can do about it?

Apply a topical antibiotic ointment and a moisturizer to soothe the dryness and itching; take an over-the-counter antihistamine or hydrocortisone cream for itching; practice good hygiene, avoid scratching, and wear loose clothing
