I'm 20 and I've been masturbating daily. I'm worried if this might cause any serious health issues or affect my fertility in the future. What should I know about this?

View allI'm dealing with some really irritating itching and inflammation around my inner thighs and below the scrotum, and it's been going on for about two months now. I noticed it started when it was super humid, and I was walking a lot with sweaty thighs. Before, I used to just apply Itch Guard, and that seemed to do the trick, but this time it hasn't helped. I've also tried using Dexoderm Terbest cream, but I'm still struggling with the same issue. Could you help me figure out what else I should do?
Potential Causes* 1. *Intertrigo*: A skin condition caused by friction, moisture, and bacteria, common in warm and humid environments. 2. *Candidiasis*: A fungal infection, often triggered by excessive moisture and sweat. 3. *Contact dermatitis*: An allergic reaction or irritation from clothing, soap, or other substances. 4. *Eczema*: A chronic skin condition characterized by dryness, itching, and inflammation. *Treatment Options* 1. *Antifungal creams*: Continue using Terbest cream or try other antifungal creams like clotrimazole or miconazole. 2. *Hydrocortisone cream*: Dexoderm is a hydrocortisone cream. You can continue using it to reduce inflammation. 3. *Calamine lotion*: Apply calamine lotion to soothe itching and reduce inflammation. 4. *Tea tree oil*: Mix a few drops of tea tree oil with a carrier oil (coconut or olive oil) and apply it to the affected area. Tea tree oil has antifungal and antibacterial properties. *Self-Care Measures* 1. *Keep the area clean and dry*: Wash the affected area with mild soap and lukewarm water. Dry thoroughly, especially after exercising or sweating. 2. *Wear breathable clothing*: Choose loose-fitting cotton underwear and avoid tight clothing that can trap moisture. 3. *Avoid scratching*: Scratching can further irritate the skin and lead to infection. 4. *Apply powder*: Use a medicated powder or talcum powder to keep the area dry and reduce friction.

How long can I safely use Tenovate cream for my psoriasis patches, and is it okay to use Melalite 15 at the same time? I'm a bit confused and need some guidance.

I've always had these dark patches on both sides of my scrotum, but the one on the left is bigger. I thought maybe it was because of sweat since I usually sleep on my left side. Recently, though, I've not been bathing as regularly, and with the summer heat, I've been sweating a lot around my groin area. Now those dark patches have spread to my thighs and maybe under the scrotum too, and they're itching really badly. Could this be jock itch? When I wash it, the skin looks a bit red, but it's mostly dark and has a different texture. I've got a couple of concerns. Can tinea cruris get this bad so suddenly? Like, I didnt have any itching a few days ago, and now its spreading super fast. And what about those dark patches from before? Were they just because of sweat, or was it something else? How long do you think it will take to heal if I use over-the-counter clotrimazole?
Probable diagnosis is fungal infection , candid cream for local application, once daily for 2 weeks is advised, also tab levocetrizine 10 mg at bedtime for 7 days is advised, if any allergic reactions dermat opinion is advised.
