Question

I'm struggling with a pretty stubborn case of jock itch. It's been lingering for about a month, and even though it's a bit better now, the itching is still quite intense. Can you suggest a good antifungal cream to help clear this up?

-For jock itch, you can use Clotrimazole cream (e.g., Candid or Lotrimin) or Ketoconazole cream (e.g., Nizoral). Apply a thin layer twice daily after washing and drying the area thoroughly. Continue using it for at least 2 weeks after the itching subsides

What are red dots on skin?

Question

I'm an 18-year-old female and I've been dealing with really hot feet for as long as I can remember. It doesn't hurt, they just feel really warm all the time, which makes it hard for me to get comfortable or even wear shoes sometimes, especially when I'm trying to sleep. Do you have any idea why this is happening or any advice on how to cool them down?
