I've got this ringworm rash that's really itchy, and I'm not sure how to handle it. Should I be washing it with neem soap, using Dettol antiseptic, or is it okay to just use normal water? I'm a bit worried about what's the best approach here. What do you suggest?

Hey, I've been reading up about macular amyloidosis and the dark spots that come with it. I've heard surgery could be a solution, but is it permanent? Are there any other treatments that might help reduce the discoloration without going under the knife? Just trying to figure out the best way to handle this. Couldn't hurt to ask, right?

I'm having a lot of trouble with itching and cuts on the skin of my scrotum, even though I've tried using different ointments. It's frustrating because the skin keeps getting dry and the cuts keep coming back. What can I do to finally get rid of this dryness and heal these cuts?

That could be fungal infection which needs both oral and topical antifungal medications and personal hygiene is more important for such condition.

I'm really worried about this gilti I've had near my chest, below my arm, for the past four months. It gets really painful sometimes, and the doctors I've seen so far just keep giving me painkillers. No one really seems to know what's going on, and it's getting frustrating not having any clear answers. I'm not sure what kind of specialist I should see to get this checked out properly. Any advice on where I should go from here?
