I've had an itchy scrotum for quite a while now, and there's this black thing that appears on the skin. It's been going on for about 23 years. I'm really concerned and would love to get some advice on what this might be and how I can treat it.

I've got a fungal infection like ringworm and I'm worried about what I should be eating. Is it okay to include eggs and chicken in my diet right now or should I avoid them? I'm just trying to figure out what foods might affect my recovery.

Yes, you can still eat eggs and chicken while dealing with a fungal infection like ringworm. However, it is important to avoid excessive consumption of sugary and processed foods, as they can potentially worsen the fungal infection. Additionally, maintaining good hygiene practices and following your prescribed antifungal treatment is crucial for managing ringworm effectively.

I've been experiencing this strange sensation during the evenings, like insects or something are crawling on my skin, especially around my stomach and back. It's really itchy and doesn't seem to go away. I'm trying to figure out what might be causing it and why it happens. Could you provide some insight?

Psorolin B ointment is advised for local application, also take tab allegra 120 mg orally for 2 weeks, if any side-effects dermatologist opinion is advised to the patient.

I've had this allergy on my hand for about three months now. Initially, it seemed really small, so I didn't pay much attention to it, but recently it's grown quite big. Should I be worried about it? What steps can I take to treat it, and is it normal for it to have gotten this much worse over time?

It sounds like you may have developed a skin infection or a severe allergic reaction. I recommend using a topical corticosteroid cream like Betamethasone 0.1% twice a day on the affected area. Additionally, taking an oral antihistamine like Cetirizine 10mg once daily can help with itching and inflammation. It is important to keep the area clean and dry, and avoid scratching to prevent further irritation. If the condition does not improve or worsens, please seek medical attention for further evaluation and management.
