So, I've got this pimple-like boil on the shaft of my penis. I tried squeezing it, and some pus came out, but it's still there a week later, and it hurts when I press it. What should I do about it?

I'm really struggling with an issue that's been bothering me for the last six months. I've got this persistent itch in the area below my buttocks, and I've tried using Dermiford cream and Btex, but nothing seems to work. The itch just keeps coming back. I even tried a home remedy with tulsi leaves, but that didn't help either. Could you please offer me some guidance on what to do?

Try an antifungal cream like Clotrimazole. Additionally, you can take an oral antihistamine like Cetirizine to help with the itching. Make sure to keep the area clean and dry, and avoid tight clothing. If the symptoms persist, it would be best to consult a dermatologist for further evaluation and management.

I'm 45 and have these big dark spots on my stomach and thighs. They aren't itchy or anything, just plain but really dark, and it seems like they're spreading. What could they be, and how can I get rid of them?

These dark spots could be a condition called dermatosis papulosa nigra, which is common in individuals with skin of color, like yourself. To help reduce the appearance of these spots, you can try using topical retinoids like Adapalene gel in the evening on the affected areas. Additionally, using a sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher during the day can help prevent further darkening of the spots. Make sure to apply the medication as directed by your doctor for best results.
