I've been using benzac AC 2.5 as my doctor recommended, but Ive noticed that every time I apply it, my skin starts itching. Do you know why this might be happening, or what I should do about it?

Question

I'm a bit worried because I developed a painful lump under my right armpit after waxing. It disappeared with some antibiotic cream, but I still feel a light pain there. I'm really anxious about whether this could affect my breast area. Could you advise me on which specialist I should see about this?

Question

I've been dealing with Jock itch for a few years now, and it gets really bad during certain seasons. I've been using FourDerm regularly to try and control the itching, but the infection just won't go away. Recently, I've started going for regular morning walks, and as a result, I'm losing some weight. Now the skin around my thighs has become really sensitive and soft, and it's making me feel really uncomfortable, especially when I walk. What should I do about this? Any advice on how to manage this better?

Question

I've just had an appointment with my doctor, and they mentioned that I have impetigo, but it got triggered by sunburn. I know impetigo is contagious, right? Does this still hold true even when it develops from sunburn? I'm a bit worried about spreading it to others.
