Jock itch, also known as tinea cruris, is a fungal infection that affects the skin in the groin area. The most effective treatment for jock itch is an antifungal cream. You can use over-the-counter antifungal creams such as Lotrimin Ultra or Lamisil AT. Apply the cream to the affected area twice a day for at least 2 weeks. It's also important to keep the affected area clean and dry. If the jock itch does not improve after using the antifungal cream, you may need to see a doctor for further evaluation and prescription-strength antifungal medication.

I've been using xpecia gel and keraxl hair serum for about two weeks just like my dermatologist recommended. I'm concerned because Im not seeing any changes, and Ive read that my hair should be shedding if the minoxidil is doing its thing. Plus, my hair is really short since I've recently gone bald. What should I be doing differently?

Question

I've been dealing with these really itchy scalp bumps for the past couple of months, and it's getting pretty unbearable. Sometimes, my scalp also flakes off in these dry little crumbs. It all started when I switched from a keto diet to a regular diet and noticed it got really hot and humid around the same time. I've tried everythingdandruff shampoos, hemp oil, apple cider vinegar rinses, tea tree oil, and organic shampoos. I've even played around with washing my hair more and less often, but nothing seems to work. What could be causing this, and what else can I do to make it stop?
