I've been using patches to quit smoking, and now it's been about a month. But my hands and feet are really dry and cracking, almost peeling to the quick. What can I do about this? Should I be worried?

The process of quitting smoking can be tough on your body, but its worth it for your long-term health. Stay patient and keep up with your skin care routine to support your recovery. use moisturisers and hydrating soaps.

I'm dealing with this really itchy waist and groin area, and it's been going on for like 18 months now. I'm pretty sure my hygiene's top-notch, so I'm wondering if maybe I caught this from using public toilets? I've been to a few doctors alreadyone thought it was mites, another said it was a fungal thing, and the last suggested it might be bacterial. But none of their treatments have worked, and I'm still stuck with this problem. Do you have any idea what else this could be or what I should do next?
Probable diagnosis is fungal infection.

2 days ago, I accidentally touched the hot silencer of my bike with the lower part of my leg just above my feet. I quickly did a cold compress and have been using Silverex Ionic on it since. Now, the skin has turned dark and dry, and I'm noticing a lot of blisters that keep breaking. Most of the time a water-like substance is coming out of them. What medications should I take? I'm also attaching some pictures from when the accident happened and what it looks like now. Any advice would be appreciated.
