I've got rashes all over my body, and while it's getting a bit better, now I've got rashes on my penis. Some skin around the meatus has come off, and I'm really worried. I've been using povidone-iodine powder, Betadine, and taking Megazolid 600 tablets, but I'm not sure if that's helping. What should I do?

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.

I've got this round ringworm on the side of my pubic area, and I used an ointment called Flucort to treat it, but now the itchiness is getting worse. What should I do? Could it be that the ointment is making it worse, or is it just not effective for this?

stop using Flucort and consult a healthcare professional to get an accurate diagnosis and proper treatment.

I'm dealing with some serious pain and I got my CBC report back yesterday showing increased TLC or ESR levels. The local doctor mentioned it's causing these boils (funsi foda), but the stuff I got from them isnt helping, and the pain is just too much to handle. Can you please guide me on how to tackle this issue?

The combination of elevated TLC and ESR suggests inflammation or infection, and the pain could be related to that. It's important to continue following up with your healthcare provider and communicate the severity of the pain. If needed, a second opinion from a specialist might be necessary for a more thorough diagnosis and effective treatment plan.
