I've noticed these red dot bumps on the head of my penis and a few on my scrotum, and they're really itchy. I looked it up and it seems like it might be scabies. What would be the best medication or cream to use for this, and how long should I continue treatment?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
For scabies, you can use a topical medication called Permethrin cream. Apply the cream all over your body from the neck down and leave it on for 8-14 hours before washing it off. You should repeat this process in 1 week. Additionally, you can take an oral medication called Ivermectin to help treat the scabies. It is important to wash all clothes, bedding, and towels in hot water to prevent re-infestation.

View allI've been using an IPL hair removal device at home and I started noticing that after a few sessions, two new moles appeared and an existing mole got darker and looked different. So I stopped using it after that. It's been almost a year since then but I'm still worried. Should I be concerned about these changes?

I've just gotten over Covid last Sunday, but now I'm dealing with these really uncomfortable skin rashes on my neck, armpits, and under my breasts. I've tried using prickly heat powder and coconut oil, but things seem to be getting worse and now I've got these red patches under my breasts. Theyve become really sensitive too, and I'm getting pretty scared because I'm not sure what's happening. The rashes are painful and making me really uncomfortable. Could this be related to my recent illness, or is it something else? What should I do?
