I've recently noticed a black spot on my toe after a foot massage. It's under the skin and doesn't go away even after cleaning. I'm a 28-year-old female and just wondering what this spot could be. Could you help me understand if this is something to worry about?

I've been dealing with this dry, flaky skin on my scrotum for a couple of months now, and it's really itchy. I had unprotected sex in the past three months, and I'm starting to get worried. Could these be connected? What should I do about it?

You may be experiencing a fungal infection such as jock itch. I recommend using an antifungal cream like Clotrimazole 1% twice daily on the affected area for 2-4 weeks. Additionally, keeping the area clean and dry, wearing loose-fitting underwear, and avoiding scratching will help with the itching and flakiness.
