I'm dealing with a weird ulcer on my scrotum that's been there for about two weeks now. At first, it was really painful, and I thought it might be something like a baltod. Plus, there was this discomfort in my groin where my thigh and abdomen meet. In the second week, the blister turned more into a lump with some yellow discharge, but now that discharge is gone, and so is the top layer of skin. What could be going on? Should I be concerned about this?

To help with the pain and promote healing, you can use an antibiotic ointment like Neosporin or Bacitracin on the ulcer. Additionally, you can take over-the-counter pain relievers like ibuprofen to help with the discomfort. Make sure to keep the area clean and dry. If the symptoms persist or worsen, please consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation and treatment.

How long does scabies take to clear up? I've used permethrin cream for two nights straight, but these itchy rashes are driving me nuts. How can I get rid of them quickly?

-It usually takes 1-2 weeks for scabies to clear up after using permethrin cream. The itching may persist for a few days even after treatment, but if symptoms continue beyond 2 weeks, consult your doctor for further care.
