I've got these dandruff issues and my doctor gave me diprovate plus cream, but I'm a bit confused on how to use it on my scalp. Do I need to wash it off after applying, and could it mess with my hair in any way? I'm just trying to figure out the right way to apply it.

Question

I've got this really itchy, black, and flaky skin on my inner thighs. It gets super itchy and smelly, especially if I sit on a fiber chair for a long time. There's this weird smelly, sticky substance that starts coming out, and it's definitely not sweat. Things get worse if I skip a shower. I've tried all sorts of treatments for eczema, but nothing seems to work. My crotch is always really warm, but instead of sweating, there's this strange stuff. It's getting in the way of my social life because, even if the substance isn't there, the itch leaves a bad smell. What could this be, and how can I fix it?
