I've been dealing with an itchy groin area for years now and I end up scratching it almost every day. The skin around there has turned really dark and there are blisters on my inner thighs. There's no pain when I scratch, but it's starting to smell down there, kind of like I haven't showered. Can you suggest a remedy?

Question

I'm dealing with phimosis and I'm looking for advice on a cream to use internally on my foreskin. I've come across betamethasone ointment and I'm really curious if it's safe to use. Can anyone help?

I've been having this really weird sensation, feeling like a bunch of needles poking out of my skin, and it's getting worse. It mainly happens when I'm out in the Sun or doing something physical, especially in Winter. The only thing that kinda helps is taking off my clothes and getting near something cold or scratching a lot, but that isn't really a solution. It's not just uncomfortable anymore, it's affecting my daily life and work. I also noticed red patches in the areas where this happens. I try bathing with cold water which helps a bit, but I'm worried because this problem is getting out of hand. I'm hoping there's a more permanent fix or at least something that can make it more manageable. Any advice?

Question

I've had this white patch on the back of my shoulder for about 20 days and it's turned black after I used melanocyl ointment. It's peeling like dry skin now, and sometimes it itches, though it doesn't really hurt. The skin feels a bit sensitive. Can someone help me figure out what's going on and how to treat it?
