View allI've been struggling with this annoying itch around my groin and inside of my buttocks for about three weeks now. I started taking canditral, which seemed to help, but it made me really sleepy. I also tried sebifin 250, but I'm still not sure if it's working. What could be causing this itch, and should I continue with the same medication or try something else? I'm a bit worried about the side effects too.
Possible Causes_: Fungal infections, skin irritation, eczema, or dermatitis. _Next Steps_: 1. Re-evaluate Canditral usage. 2. Consider topical treatments like clotrimazole or hydrocortisone. 3. Maintain good hygiene.

I'm 20 and I've been taking Seven Seas cod liver oil capsules without talking to a doctor first. I'm using them because I get some pain in my eyes at night and I also want to help my skin since Im dealing with some small acne. Is taking these capsules good for my health? How much should I be taking each day, and is it safe? Are there any side effects I should be aware of? How long should I keep taking them?
