I've got these meaty lumps on my penis, and I was told they might be a fungi infection. I've been using Itranox and Daktakort, but haven't seen any improvement. I'm starting to get worried. What should I do next?

View allI've noticed a patch of dry skin on my right under thigh, but it's not itchy or causing any discomfort. Could you recommend an ointment for this?
Since there's no itch or discomfort, you can try the following over-the-counter (OTC) ointments: 1. *Moisturizing creams*: Cetaphil Moisturizing Cream, Eucerin Advanced Repair Cream, or CeraVe Moisturizing Cream. 2. *Hydrocortisone cream*: A mild steroid cream like hydrocortisone (0.5-1%) can help reduce inflammation and dryness. 3. *Urea-based creams*: Urea (10-20%) creams, such as Eucerin Advanced Repair Cream or Aquaphor Healing Ointment, can help lock in moisture. 4. *Vaseline*: Petroleum jelly (Vaseline) can provide a protective barrier and help retain moisture. Apply the ointment 2-3 times a day, or as needed. If the patch persists or worsens, consult a doctor or dermatologist for further guidance.

I've been dealing with this pitryasis rosea thing since last week. The doctor said it might take a few months to clear up and gave me some mild soap and lotion. But now the first rashes are turning brown and feel bumpy and scaly. It's like I can feel them raised on my skin. They look really bad, and it doesn't seem like they're going away anytime soon. Is this normal? What should I expect, and is there anything else I can do?
It is normal for the rash in pityriasis rosea to evolve over time, with the initial rash often becoming darker in color and developing a scaly texture. To help alleviate the symptoms and promote healing, you can consider using a mild corticosteroid cream like Hydrocortisone 1% twice a day on the affected areas. Additionally, taking an antihistamine like Cetirizine 10mg once daily can help with any itching. Make sure to continue using the prescribed mild soap and lotion as well. If the symptoms persist or worsen, consult your doctor for further evaluation and management.
