Yes, Candid B cream can help treat jock itch as it contains antifungal and anti-inflammatory agents. Apply a thin layer to clean, dry skin twice daily. Keep the area clean and dry, but its not mandatory to leave it exposed after applying the creamjust avoid tight clothing to allow airflow and prevent moisture buildup. If symptoms persist, consult a doctor.

I'm planning to attend an event soon and I'm thinking about using a cream called UltraBrite to reduce some marks and dark circles on my face. I'm only planning to use it for a week and then stop. Do you think that's okay? Could it have any side effects if I just use it for such a short time?

I started going to the gym back in November 2015, and now it's been about 56 months. I've noticed some stretch marks appearing near my armpit area. I've talked to my nutritionist and gym trainer about it, and even did some Googling. It seems like these marks might be popping up because my body is growing or adding more muscle. Does that sound right, or could there be another reason behind them? Should I see a dermatologist about this, or would a sports nutritionist be better to consult with? Any advice would be appreciated!
