I'm a 27-year-old woman and I'm dealing with an armpit yeast infection. I tried Clobetasol but didn't see any improvement. Now, I'm using Whitfield's ointment with Benzoic Acid and Salicylic Acid. Can this really help with the yeast infection, or is there a better medication I should consider?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Whitfield's ointment containing Benzoic Acid and Salicylic Acid is not typically used to treat yeast infections. For yeast infections, antifungal medications are usually recommended. You can try using an antifungal cream like Clotrimazole (Canesten) or Miconazole (Monistat). Apply the cream to the affected area twice a day for about 1-2 weeks. If the infection persists or worsens, it's best to consult a healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.

View allI've been struggling with darkening of my inner thighs and pubic area and I'm not sure if it's because of masturbation or some other issue. On top of that, my foreskin seems really loose. Can you help me understand what's going on and if there's anything I can do to improve these problems?
To lighten dark inner thighs and pubic area, you can use a cream containing hydroquinone and kojic acid. Apply it once daily for a few weeks. For your loose foreskin and related issues, you may benefit from using a steroid cream like Betamethasone. Apply a thin layer twice a day for a few weeks to help tighten the foreskin.

I've got a pretty big boil on my left calf, and after a while, it started leaking pus and blood for around 15 days. It's been about 10 days since I began using antibiotics and ointment, as my dermatologist suggested, but it still isn't healing. I change the dressing with silver sulphadiazine gel every time. I'm really worried and wondering what might be going on. Any idea why it's not improving?

I've recently noticed some big, painful bumps in the pubic hair area just below my belly. It started with just one, but now there seem to be more. I'm wondering if this could be related to the hair or if there might be another cause. Any ideas on what these could be and what I should do about them?
