Question 1

I'm dealing with a really uncomfortable situation where I've got this infection in my pubic area and nearby thighs. It's turned the skin black and the itching is seriously bad. Do you think it could be some kind of fungal infection or is it something else? I'm pretty concerned and would love some advice.

Accepted Answer

This could be fungal infection u need to evaluate with your Dermatologist and get appropriate treatment with oral antifungal medications and topical lotions,once the infection is resolved your hair fall would come down,I suggest you not to use minoxidil with active fungal infection,above this your personal hygiene care is more important.

Question 2

My friend has been dealing with an itchy sensation on his thighs near his private area for about two weeks now, where the legs meet. At first, he thought it might be a daad, so he tried using ring guard and other similar treatments, but the itching just keeps getting worse. Can you tell me what this might be and suggest what he should do?

Question 3

I recently had a tumble off my bike and now I've got these open wounds on my palms and knees, about the size of a coin. I've been using soframycin skin cream on them, but I've noticed it forms a dried mass with blood that covers the wound and it really hurts when it comes off. I'm wondering if I should switch to wokadine ointment instead. Any thoughts?

Accepted Answer

I can understand your concern.
I hope you are not in too much pain.
You have to clean the would with warm water and with betadine solution. After that apply mupirocin ointment which is available by tradenames like t-bact, b-bact, i-bact, or mupi ointment.
After that leave tge wound open.
Apply a thin layer over the wound.

I've been using Erytop lotion for my acne, and recently I've noticed a red swelling on my face. I'm 26 years old and kind of worried about it. Do you think it's a reaction to the lotion, or could it be something else? What should my next steps be?

Stop using the medication, u can use kojiglo cream for local application for 7 days, any side-effects dermat opinion is advised to the patient.
