I've got these red burn marks after getting wax hair removal yesterday, and I've attached some photos. Can you suggest ways to heal my skin and prevent scars? Do you think my skin will return to normal?

Question

I've been dealing with a fungal infection on my leg for a while now, and it just won't get better. I've tried using Ebernet and Nadibact Plus, among other treatments, but nothing seems to work, and it's actually spreading. Do you have any idea why these aren't working or what else I could try? I'm really worried about it getting worse.

Question

I'm dealing with this persistent fungal infection around my private parts for the past three months, and I'm really concerned it's not going away. I suspect I might also have balanitis because there's intense itching and it's becoming difficult to move the foreskin comfortably. Could you guide me on what steps I should take and which type of doctor I should see about this?

Question

I've always had these dark patches on both sides of my scrotum, but the one on the left is bigger. I thought maybe it was because of sweat since I usually sleep on my left side. Recently, though, I've not been bathing as regularly, and with the summer heat, I've been sweating a lot around my groin area. Now those dark patches have spread to my thighs and maybe under the scrotum too, and they're itching really badly. Could this be jock itch? When I wash it, the skin looks a bit red, but it's mostly dark and has a different texture. I've got a couple of concerns. Can tinea cruris get this bad so suddenly? Like, I didnt have any itching a few days ago, and now its spreading super fast. And what about those dark patches from before? Were they just because of sweat, or was it something else? How long do you think it will take to heal if I use over-the-counter clotrimazole?
