My mom's been dealing with these mouth ulcers for about a year now, and we've tried a bunch of medicines and gels, but nothing seems to work. Those white patches just heal and then pop up somewhere else, and it really burns when she's eating. We've consulted several doctors, and they've said it might never cure. Is there any permanent solution for this? It's been really tough seeing her go through this.

I'm experiencing this burning sensation and red mark on my testis skin, and it's been bothering me for the past three months. I'm getting a lot of sweating too. I've seen a couple of doctors already; the first one suggested Canesten and Fusibactb, which I used for two months, but they didn't really help. The second doctor recommended Beclox lotion, but I'm still not getting much relief. Sometimes I feel a bit better, but it's not consistent. I'm really concerned about this and not sure what to do next. Could you please give me some advice or suggest anything else I might try?
You can try using Lotrimin Ultra cream twice a day on the affected area for 2 weeks. Additionally, taking an oral antifungal medication like Fluconazole 150mg once a week for 4 weeks can also help in treating any underlying fungal infection. Make sure to keep the area clean and dry, wear loose-fitting underwear, and avoid any potential irritants. If the symptoms persist, consider consulting a dermatologist for further evaluation and management.

My son has a mole on his head that keeps getting bigger. Is there any treatment for this other than surgery? I'm a bit worried about it growing so fast.
While surgical removal is the primary treatment for a mole that is changing or causing concern, it's not always the only option. If the mole is benign (not cancerous) and you're concerned about its appearance, a dermatologist may suggest alternative treatments, such as watchful waiting or cosmetic removal.
