View allI've got these big, irregular white patches on the side and underneath my scrotum, and they've been itching like crazy. It's been going on for about 56 months, and I think it's because of the sweating. I just noticed the patches recently. Should I be worried about this?

I'm dealing with this skin thing that's kinda like a fungal infection, where I get these red rings. Sometimes it clears up on its own but then comes back. I'm trying to figure out which cream is better for it, Panderm Plus or Zoderm E? Any advice would be awesome!
Based on your description of a recurring fungal infection with red ring-like lesions, both Panderm Plus (clotrimazole + beclomethasone) and Zoderm-E (clotrimazole) can be effective; however, Panderm Plus might be a better option as it combines an antifungal (clotrimazole) with a mild steroid (beclomethasone) to reduce inflammation and itching

I'm really worried about these Fordyce spots that I have. Are there any home remedies I could try to help with them? I've also heard that coconut oil might be a cure. Is there any truth to that?
Kojiglo cream for local application for atleast 3 weeks is advised.
