View allI've been dealing with this really intense itching on my lower back and abdomen, and I suspect it might be a fungal infection. I'm wondering if there's a gel with clotrimazole 2 mg that I could use to help with this. Could you recommend something effective for this kind of skin issue?

I've been waxing my face and ended up taking off some skin on both of my cheeks. I've been applying aloe vera gel to help it heal, but it's actually getting worse. What else can I do to fix this?
I recommend using an over-the-counter antibiotic ointment like Neosporin. Apply a thin layer on the affected areas on your cheeks twice a day. Additionally, you can take an over-the-counter pain reliever like ibuprofen to help with any discomfort. Make sure to keep the area clean and avoid picking at it to prevent infection.
