I've developed a skin rash that began on my inner thighs and now has spread to my shoulders, ankles, buttocks, and the side of my stomach. It started out red and has turned black, with little itchy bumps. Should I be worried about this, and what could be causing it?

It sounds like you may be experiencing a fungal skin infection, such as tinea corporis (ringworm). I recommend using an antifungal cream like Clotrimazole 1% cream. Apply a thin layer to the affected areas twice a day for 2-4 weeks. Additionally, you can take an oral antihistamine like Cetirizine 10mg once daily to help with the itching. Make sure to keep the affected areas clean and dry, and avoid sharing towels or clothing to prevent spreading the infection.

I had eye herpes a while back in October 2016, and since then I've been left with these scars on my forehead. It's been about four months now. I've been using Demelan cream twice a day, and at night, I apply Aziderm cream for about 15 minutes. Is there anything else I should be doing, or do you think this routine will eventually help with the scars? I'm a bit worried and would love some advice.

I'm a guy who sleeps with guys and I've been pretty active when it comes to oral and anal sex, sometimes without protection. I noticed I've got these round red rashes on my palms and feet that don't itch, and they've been around for like six months. I tried allergy meds, but they're not going away. Plus, I've started getting these molluscum contagiosum warts on my chest, elbow, and even my anal area. My serology test came back as weakly reactive for the RPRVDRL test. Could these be early signs of an STD? I'm thinking about trying Benzathine penicillin injections. Do you think it's safe, and are there any side effects I should worry about?
