I accidentally spilled hot water on a sensitive area and now there's a red mark and it's bleeding a bit. I'm really worried and not sure what to do. Are there any home remedies you'd recommend to help it heal? Also, is there anything specific I should avoid doing?

I'm dealing with a pretty uncomfortable situation here. I recently got over jock itch by using Clotrimazol Candid dusting powder, but now I've developed a small, pea-sized pus spot in my groin area. It burst open last night, and now Ive got this exposed wound that makes it tough to walk. I tried using Dettol Antiseptic liquid to clean it up, but it sometimes has a bad smell. Im really worried about it getting infected, so Id like to know what I can do to help it heal. Any advice?

I've been having this really awful fishy smell in my groin area and it's driving me crazy. I wash a lot, but it doesn't seem to help. I've tried using some rubbing alcohol like Seabreeze and it helps for a couple of days, but then it's back again after I sweat at night. I'm worried and not sure what to do next. Any ideas?

Can guys keep using minoxidil 5% forever, or are there some side effects if you use it for a really long time?
