I've had this really annoying itching inside my penis for the past week because of some tiny bumps. It's been quite uncomfortable, and I'm getting worried. Can you recommend any medicine or ointment that could help, or maybe some home remedies to try?

I've been diagnosed with Alopecia Areata and my doctor suggested I take methyl prednisolone tablets. Is it safe for me to also use Nervijen and Etoshine tablets? I'm dealing with some heel pain too, so I'm just a bit concerned about mixing these meds. Can you advise?

I've been using glocin gel as prescribed for about a month now, applying it twice daily. I'm just wondering if I should keep using it for another month or if it's okay to stop at this point. What do you suggest?

As you have been using Glocin gel for almost one month, it is important to follow the advice of your healthcare provider regarding the duration of treatment. In general, for conditions like acne, it is common to continue using topical treatments like Glocin gel for at least 8-12 weeks to see optimal results. However, since individual cases may vary, it is best to consult with your healthcare provider to determine if you should continue using the gel for another month or if it is appropriate to stop at this time.
