Can white patches on the stomach heal faster if they get proper air exposure or do they need surgery for permanent removal? I'm worried because mine aren't getting enough air and healing seems slow. Does surgery actually get rid of them for good?

White patches on the stomach can be caused by various factors, and proper air exposure may help some types heal faster, but it's not a guaranteed solution for all cases. While surgery can be an option for conditions like vitiligo, it's not a guaranteed permanent removal and may require further treatment,

I'm a 27-year-old woman and I'm dealing with an armpit yeast infection. I tried Clobetasol but didn't see any improvement. Now, I'm using Whitfield's ointment with Benzoic Acid and Salicylic Acid. Can this really help with the yeast infection, or is there a better medication I should consider?
Whitfield's ointment containing Benzoic Acid and Salicylic Acid is not typically used to treat yeast infections. For yeast infections, antifungal medications are usually recommended. You can try using an antifungal cream like Clotrimazole (Canesten) or Miconazole (Monistat). Apply the cream to the affected area twice a day for about 1-2 weeks. If the infection persists or worsens, it's best to consult a healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.

I've been dealing with this jock itch for a couple of months now and it's driving me crazy. I've tried using Cloben G cream, and it seems to help while I'm using it, but as soon as I stop, the itch comes back. It's really uncomfortable and mostly around my inner thighs and buttocks. The skin is darker with a red, bumpy border, and lighter brown inside. I'm looking for a permanent fix. What can I do?
This could be fungal infection u need to evaluate with your Dermatologist and get appropriate treatment with oral antifungal medications and topical lotions,once the infection is resolved your hair fall would come down,I suggest you not to use minoxidil with active fungal infection,above this your personal hygiene care is more important.
