I've been using Patchex tablets and Mel Bild solution for the past two months to deal with my patches. While Mel Bild seems to work on the existing patches, I've noticed that new ones keep popping up. Is this normal, or should I be worried about something else going on? What should I do next?

It seems like the current treatment is not fully effective in preventing the formation of new patches. I recommend adding a topical corticosteroid like Clobetasol cream to help reduce inflammation and prevent the development of new patches. Apply a thin layer of Clobetasol cream on the affected areas once daily for 4 weeks, then gradually taper off.

I've noticed some tiny black dots on my skin. They're really small and not painful at all, but I'm kind of worried. Are these something I should be concerned about?

Kozicure cream for local application is advised for 3-6 weeks , at bedtime ,if any side-effects dermat opinion is advised .

I'm dealing with some concerning symptoms and could really use some advice. It began with small red dots on the skin of my penis and upper thighs, which then turned into an itch that comes and goes, leaving behind black spots. Now, the itching has returned with a vengeance, it's even more intense, and my penis seems to be a bit swollen. I've ordered Scaboma, thinking it might be scabies. Does this sound like scabies to you, or should I be worried about something else? Any suggestions on what I should do next?

It sounds like you may be experiencing symptoms of scabies. Scaboma is a suitable treatment for scabies. You can apply Permethrin 5% cream (Scaboma) all over your body from neck down to toes at night and wash it off the next morning. Repeat this after 7 days. Additionally, you can take Cetirizine 10mg once daily for itching relief. Make sure to wash all your clothes, bedding, and towels in hot water to prevent reinfestation.

I recently had stents placed in both my ureters and they were there for a week after my RIRS procedure. After the stents were removed, I tried to masturbate after a couple of days because I felt the urge, but I ended up having this weird experience where it felt like sperm was coming out but nothing actually did; it was just dry. Should I be worried about this or is it something that can happen?

After stent removal, it's normal to experience temporary changes in ejaculation, and the "dry" sensation could be due to inflammation, scarring, or residual swelling, so consult your urologist to rule out any complications or blockages
