Question

I've been dealing with this persistent itching on my inner thigh near the scrotum and it's really bothering me. I took the capsule Canditral for about 20 days and used the dermikem OC tube, which seemed to help. But after I stopped using them, the itching and those red, itchy spots came back after just 10 days. Do you think this could be Jock itch? What medication would you recommend for something like this?

Your symptoms suggest a fungal infection like Jock itch (tinea cruris); consider consulting a dermatologist for a definitive diagnosis

Question

I'm seeing these itchy red bumps that look like pimples on my forearms and ears. They first appeared two days ago on my hands and ears but have now spread to my forearms. They're not on my biceps or shoulders, which are usually covered by my t-shirt. Could this be related to the weather change? I was driving in the sun two days ago during the daytime and started noticing these patches afterward. What do you think?

Question

I'm not dealing with dandruff or any itchiness in my hair. I wash my hair with shampoo every three days and use good quality hair oil. I also don't wear caps that could trap any odor. Still, I've noticed that after showering, my hair smells a bit sour for around an hour. I'm puzzled about what's causing it. I don't have any allergies or other symptoms either. What could be going on?
