View allI've got these red circles on both sides of my bikini line and they're kind of dry in the middle with raised edges. Sometimes they're dry and other times there's a bit of water. They itch occasionally and then go quiet. I'm wondering if I should use ringguard on them or if there's another ointment you would recommend?

I have this boil on my right thigh that's been bothering me for the last three days. The skin around it is really red and it's pretty painful. What kind of antibiotic should I consider for this? I'm a bit worried.
For the boil on your thigh, along with the redness and pain, you can take an antibiotic like Amoxicillin-Clavulanate (brand name Augmentin) 625mg twice a day for 7-10 days. Additionally, you can also apply an over-the-counter antibiotic ointment like Neosporin to the affected area to help with the healing process.

I'm experiencing a lot of itching and redness along with some slight pain on the inner skin of my penis, the part that becomes visible after I pull back the foreskin. Can you advise on what I should do about it? I'm wondering if using skin ointments like RingGuard or Betnovate is safe for such a sensitive area.
That could be fungal infection which needs both oral and topical antifungal medications and personal hygiene is more important for such condition.
