I've got this small pimple near my anus and it really hurts when I touch it. Could you help me figure out what I can do about it?

I recommend using an over-the-counter cream containing 2.5% hydrocortisone to reduce inflammation and pain. Apply a thin layer of the cream to the affected area twice a day for up to a week. Additionally, you can take an over-the-counter pain reliever such as ibuprofen to help with the pain. If the pimple does not improve or if you experience any worsening symptoms, please consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation

View allI've been dealing with scabies for about a week now, and I've been using benzyl benzoate 25 on my body. I've avoided my face and penis area, but now I've noticed some small red bumps on the head of my penis. Is it safe to apply the cream there, or should I try something else? I'm a bit worried about what to do next.
No it is not advised.

I've got this really itchy, black, and flaky skin on my inner thighs. It gets super itchy and smelly, especially if I sit on a fiber chair for a long time. There's this weird smelly, sticky substance that starts coming out, and it's definitely not sweat. Things get worse if I skip a shower. I've tried all sorts of treatments for eczema, but nothing seems to work. My crotch is always really warm, but instead of sweating, there's this strange stuff. It's getting in the way of my social life because, even if the substance isn't there, the itch leaves a bad smell. What could this be, and how can I fix it?
It sounds like you may be dealing with a fungal infection in the groin area, also known as jock itch. I recommend using an antifungal cream such as Lotrimin Ultra or Lamisil AT. Apply the cream to the affected area twice a day for at least 2 weeks. Keep the area clean and dry, and avoid wearing tight clothing. If the symptoms persist or worsen, please follow up with a healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.

I'm having some swelling and pitting in my left lower limbs, and it's been really bothering me. I've already done a sugar test, but that doesn't seem to be the issue. The venous scan suggested it might be cellulitis or edema. I'm a bit worried and not sure what to do next. Could you help me understand what might be going on and what steps I should take now?
The swelling and pitting edema in your left lower limb, with scanning results suggesting cellulitis or edema, may indicate a vascular or infectious issue; consult primary care physician for further evaluation and treatment, which may include antibiotics, compression therapy, and elevation.
