My mom, who's 55, got a pimple on her neck last month. The doctor recommended a Mantoux test, and from the results, they mentioned she might have skin TB. The thing is, except for that pimple, she doesn't have any other symptoms of TB. I'm wondering if just one Mantoux test is really enough to diagnose TB, or should we be looking into more tests? And also, is skin TB something that's curable? Would love some guidance on this.

View allI'm dealing with some issues down there. My penis skin feels sticky and it's pretty itchy. It's also slightly painful when I try to pull the skin back. There's this sticky white stuff on the head that looks like dried semen, but I'm sure that's not it. This has been happening for about three days now, though I'm not having any trouble with erections or urinating. What might be going on and how can I treat it?
it can be Smegma: A natural, cheesy substance that can accumulate under the foreskin, causing irritation and stickiness.1. Maintain good hygiene: Gently wash the affected area with mild soap and lukewarm water. 2. Avoid harsh products: Refrain from using scented soaps, bubble baths, or other products that may irritate the skin. 3. Dry the area thoroughly: After washing, gently pat the area dry with a clean towel. after following these if your symptoms doesnt resolve then contact general surgeon

I've been having some problems with my skin around the testis and thighs; it's really itchy and there's a lot of redness. It feels like there's a lot of heat coming from that area, and I've noticed some fungus too. I've been trying propygenta NF and using dreamsoap, but it just doesnt seem to help. Any suggestions on what I could do?
It sounds like you may be experiencing a fungal infection in the groin area. I recommend using a combination of Clotrimazole cream and Terbinafine cream twice daily for 2 weeks. Additionally, you can take Tablet Fluconazole 150mg once a week for 4 weeks to treat the infection effectively. Make sure to keep the area clean and dry, wear loose-fitting clothes, and avoid sharing towels or clothing to prevent further spread of the infection.

I've been dealing with this annoying itch in my leg for over a week now. It seems like it only happens to me during the summer months. I'm using Mycoderm powder, but the itching just won't go away. Any idea what's going on or what else I could try?
