View allI'm using the Sebamed sunscreen with SPF 50, and it seems to be working fine for me. But I'm a bit confused and worried about whether it's safe to use SPF 50 all the time, especially since I can't find the Sebamed sunscreen lotion with SPF 30. They do have a spray version with SPF 30, but I'm not sure if a spray is as effective. I've read some advice from doctors that sprays might not be as good. Can you help me figure out if I'm using the right sunscreen? I'm also using a face wash and moisturizer from the same brand.
SPF 3O is advised to the patient.

I've been dealing with itchy patches around my vagina and the bend in my inner thigh for about a month now. They look like ringworms and itch really bad, but I haven't tried any medication yet. What do you think I should do?
You may have a fungal infection, such as ringworm. I recommend using an antifungal cream like Clotrimazole 1% cream. Apply a thin layer to the affected areas twice a day for 2-4 weeks. Make sure to keep the area clean and dry to help the medication work effectively. If the symptoms persist or worsen, please follow up with a healthcare provider for further evaluation.
