I've got this bump that started off small, but after I accidentally scratched it, it got bigger. It's pretty red around the edges and really hurts when I touch it. I noticed there's some pus inside. Is it better to wait until the pus grows more before trying to squeeze it out? Then maybe take some antibiotics? I really want to get rid of this from the root, and I heard draining the pus is important. What should I do?

I'm thinking about getting a permanent laser fairness treatment for my whole body because I have a pretty typical Indian skin tone, not too dark or too light. I'm really curious about which treatment centers offer the best results, especially if they're in or around Pune, and how much it might cost. I have normal skin, not sensitive, and I'm also wondering what steps I should take to keep my skin complexion fair after the treatment. Any advice would be appreciated!

I'm dealing with some irritation near my genital area, and it's been itching for the past 3 to 4 days. There's also a mild white spot. I'm wondering if it's okay to use kitoford cream for this. What should I do?

Kitoford cream contains a combination of Clotrimazole and Beclomethasone. It is commonly used to treat fungal infections and inflammation of the skin. You can apply a thin layer of Kitoford cream to the affected area twice a day for up to 2 weeks. Make sure to clean and dry the area before applying the cream. If the symptoms persist or worsen, please consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation.

I've had this dry whitish patch on the shaft of my penis for about six months now, and it's got me a bit worried. The skin on that patch is kinda wrinkly, and when I wet it with water or oil, it appears to go back to normal, but it still seems a bit lighter than the rest of the skin. Should I be concerned about this? What might be causing it, and is there anything I can do to treat or improve it?

The symptoms you described, including a dry, whitish patch with wrinkly skin on the penis shaft that normalizes with moisture, could be indicative of vitiligo, eczema, or lichen sclerosus; consult a dermatologist
