I'm dealing with a really embarrassing issue and I'm not sure what to do about it. I've got this onion-like smell coming from my inner thighs and around my pannis area. Every time I walk, it's like the skin is peeling away like mud, and the area just stays wet all the time. Whenever I try wearing underwear, it starts itching a lot. I feel too embarrassed to see a doctor face-to-face about it. Could this be something serious? How should I handle it?

I'm considering using Evion 400 capsules on my face every other day. I usually mix it with almond oil or aloe vera gel. Does this sound like a good routine? Is there anything I should be worried about?

Using Evion 400 (Vitamin E) on the face can be beneficial for skin health. However, it is important to note that applying it directly from the capsule may be too concentrated for some individuals and could potentially cause skin irritation. It is recommended to mix the contents of the capsule with almond oil or aloe vera gel before applying it to the face. This can help dilute the Vitamin E and make it safer for topical use. You can continue using it every alternate day, but if you experience any redness, itching, or irritation, please discontinue use.
