Question 3

good day. i have this horrible itching bumps on my feet. on top. on the sides and under my bridge. o have googled athletes foot. doesnt look like it. then i have this shave like rash on my legs. i have tried everything. cortisone salf, vicks. alchol?

Accepted Answer

Possible fungus : I will give you credit and say this, you sure tried  all the available options to try and treat it except one. That being over-the-counter antifungal medication. If that is available to you Lamisil is what I recommend.  If your feet perspire a lot this also needs to be addressed .   If you do not respond to this please seek medical attention

Question 4

i've had on off itching underneath my last 3 toes on my left foot. there does seem to be shedding of a layer of skin under those three. could it be the early stages of athletes foot? no rashes. could go a day with no itchiness sometimes.

Accepted Answer

Yes: This certainly sounds like athletes foot. Burning, itching and scaly skin along with redness are hallmarks of tinea pedis. Over the counter antifungal creams and sprays can help kill the yeast that cause these infections. To prevent future infections, try wearing open shoes (sandals or flip-flops) or go barefoot at home. Make sure to sanitize bathtub/shower floor to prevent recurrence.

Question 5

unprotected sex 10 months ago.  dry cough dry itchy skin. red bumps on thighs. white tongue. cuts won't heal. athletes foot. nail changes oral hiv neg?

Accepted Answer

HIV: Sounds like you're having some pretty common health annoyances &amp; are worried they're due to HIV. First, the chance of of getting HIV from 1 encounter is very low (1 in 1250 exposures for vaginal penetration). The oral HIV tests are pretty accurate (about 92%) but to be extra sure and give you peace of mind, call your gyn or PCP to get a blood test. It's quick and confidential. Good luck!

Question 6

Accepted Answer

Rash: This rash would need to be examined to be able to provide diagnosis or treatment recommendation. Any chance of COVID toes?
