I've noticed that there's something like dandruff on my penis, kind of like peeling skin. It's been happening for about a month now. Should I be worried about this or is there something specific that might be causing it? How can I get rid of it?

I've been dealing with eczema on my right leg since 2011, and it's been really frustrating. It itches all the time and the scratching has left these dark, patchy marks that just won't go away. It's dry eczema, and as far as I know, I'm not allergic to anything, so I'm really puzzled about what's causing it. It's only on my leg, and steroids and moisturizers haven't been helping at all. What can I do to cure it?

I'm really struggling with a stubborn fungal infection that's been bothering me for the last 4 months. I've tried using amorolfine, ketoconazole, and a cream with berconazole, but it just won't go away for good. Although the redness disappears a few days after applying the medication, it keeps coming back on my bump and buttocks about a week later. What can I do to finally get rid of these annoying red patches?

Candid cream for local application is advised for 3 weeks, along with tab flucanozole 150 mg once a week for 2 weeks is advised to the patient.
