I'm dealing with this itching issue around the hairy area near my penis and some other parts nearby. Its not super severe, but its to the point where I need candid powder just to get out of bed and feel okay in the mornings. And I can't seem to step outside without a shower first. What's a permanent fix for this? Could you suggest something that can help in the long run?

It sounds like you may be experiencing a fungal infection in the groin area. To treat this condition, you can use an antifungal cream such as Clotrimazole cream twice daily for 2-4 weeks. Additionally, you can take oral antifungal medication like Fluconazole 150mg once a week for 4 weeks. It is important to maintain good hygiene, keep the area clean and dry, and avoid wearing tight clothing. If the symptoms persist or worsen, please consult a doctor for further evaluation and management.

Question

I've been using Panderm cream on my face for like 34 years, and at first, I was really happy because it made my face lighter. But now I'm hearing it's got steroids in it. If I stop using it for even just a couple of days, my face gets dark, itchy, and rashy. Plus, I started noticing more hair on my face after using it. I really want to stop using the cream and get rid of these issues, but I've read that your face might look worse if you stop after using it long term. I'm honestly a bit scared. What should I do?
