Question

I've got these white patches and flaky skin around my groin and thighs, and it's really itchy at times. I've been using itch guard for about two days now, but it's not helping at all. Should I keep using the itch guard or is it time to see a doctor about this?

You may be experiencing a fungal infection such as jock itch. In addition to using an antifungal cream like Clotrimazole 1% cream, I recommend keeping the affected area clean and dry. You can continue applying the antifungal cream twice a day for 2-4 weeks. If your symptoms do not improve or worsen after a week of using the cream, it would be advisable to consult a doctor for further evaluation and treatment.

I'm a bit worried because yesterday I noticed a bump or something like a pimple on my left nipple, and it was painful. Today, though, the pain's gone, but now there's some itching around it. Plus, I've noticed my left nipple is actually bigger than my right one. Should I be concerned about this?
