I recently cleaned a knee wound with Savlon, but now there's a red spot where I applied it. Could you help me understand why this happened and what I should do next?

I'm dealing with a reddish rash on my cleavage and under my breast. It tends to get worse when I sweat and then becomes really dry and sometimes itchy after a shower. I noticed last time that a zinc-based medicine from my dermatologist helped a bit. It's not really bothering me otherwise, but I'm just not sure what else to do. What do you think it might be, and is there something more I should try?

That could be fungal infection ,maintain personal hygiene and you continue that ointment,if it is recurring have to take oral antifungal medicines ,visit dermatologist for appropriate treatment.

I'm having this really persistent itching problem in the area between my legs, and it feels like it's been going on forever. It's super itchy and gives this intense burning sensation, almost like it's on fire. I tried some medicines I got from the local pharmacy - a tablet called LCetriver and a cream called Trioderm. They seemed to help, but as soon as I stopped using them, the itching flared up again, even worse. I should also mention that I've had a lot of body hair since I was a kid, and there's a lot in the itchy area too. Could my hormones be playing a part in this, and what should I do to finally get rid of this problem?
