I had jock itch and now it's left a scar on my skin. I'm really concerned about how to get rid of this scar. Can you help me with some advice or treatment options?

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've been dealing with these persistent pimples that start small but get pretty big and filled with pus over about 12 days. The skin underneath gets hard and it really hurts. When I try to squeeze them, a bit of pus and blood comes out. After about a week, they leave behind a black spot but then new ones keep coming up right after the old ones disappear. I'm just trying to figure out what's going on with my skin. Any idea what this could be?

Based on your description, it sounds like you are experiencing recurrent episodes of acne. To help treat this, you can use a topical treatment containing Benzoyl Peroxide or Salicylic Acid to help reduce inflammation and prevent new breakouts. You can try using a brand like "Differin Gel" or "Neutrogena Rapid Clear Stubborn Acne Spot Treatment" on the affected areas once daily. Additionally, maintaining a good skincare routine and avoiding picking or squeezing the pimples can also help prevent further breakouts.
