My melanocyte transplant surgery was done two weeks ago but I still don't see any change in my skin color. When can I expect to start seeing results and get back my normal skin tone?

I'm really concerned about this redness I'm experiencing around my thigh joint. I've been using propysalic NF ointment for itching and to get rid of some scars, but now my skin tone seems different. Should I continue using the same ointment or try something else? I'm just a bit worried about my skin changing and could use some guidance.

I'm dealing with a fungal infection and now my testis skin is really dry. I've been using Tyza 250mg, Livafin Cream, LCZ 5mg, and Momate Cream, but it doesn't seem to be helping much or maybe it's just too slow. Can you suggest an alternative cream for dry skin down there?

I've been dealing with this itchy red rash that keeps appearing and disappearing, and I sometimes feel a pricking sensation in different parts of my body, especially on my back. On top of that, my tonsils seem to hurt a bit too. Could this be something serious, or is there anything I should be doing to help it?

It sounds like you may be experiencing symptoms of a condition called Urticaria, also known as hives. Hives are red, itchy welts or swellings on the skin that often come and go. The pricking sensation you are feeling in your body parts, especially in the back, could be due to the hives. The slight pain in your tonsils may be related to inflammation or infection. To help relieve your symptoms, you can take an antihistamine such as Cetirizine (brand name Zyrtec) 10mg once daily. Additionally, you can apply a soothing lotion like Calamine to the affected areas to help with the itching. If the symptoms persist or worsen, it is important to follow up with a healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.
