To remove the scars left from jock itch, you can use a cream containing hydroquinone, which helps lighten dark spots on the skin. You can apply a cream like Mederma or Bio-Oil twice a day on the affected area. Additionally, using a silicone gel sheet like ScarAway can also help reduce the appearance of scars. Make sure to follow the instructions on the product packaging for best results.

I'm a bit confused about what to do after a 25% TCA peel. I've heard different things about whether or not I should use moisturizer right away. Some people say it might slow down the healing process. Is there any truth to that?

I've had this lump next to my nipple for what feels like forever, and I'm not really sure how long it's been there. It's kinda weird because the lump seems to get taller when my nipple gets hard, and when it's soft, the lump flattens out. It's not painful, doesn't move around, and it's pretty soft. I'm a bit worried. Why is this happening? Is it something I should be concerned about?
