I'm a 35-year-old guy dealing with psoriasis and my doctor prescribed Clovate cream. But I'm wondering if there's another cream I could try. Also, I'm from a low-income background, so something affordable would be great. Any suggestions?

Is there a way to naturally lighten or brighten my skin tone without going for treatments like laser or chemical peels? I'm looking for safer options that don't involve surgery

laser is advised.

I've noticed that my dad has had this wart under his right armpit for quite a while now, maybe a few years. It doesn't bother him since it's not painful, red, or itchy. But the other day, he found another wart under his left armpit. This one hurts when he touches it, although it isn't red or itchy, and there's no pus. Could these warts be a sign of something more serious? Do you think he needs to get it checked out soon?

See a specialist for accurate diagnosis and targeted treatment.

I've been dealing with this persistent itching on my inner thigh near the scrotum and it's really bothering me. I took the capsule Canditral for about 20 days and used the dermikem OC tube, which seemed to help. But after I stopped using them, the itching and those red, itchy spots came back after just 10 days. Do you think this could be Jock itch? What medication would you recommend for something like this?

Your symptoms suggest a fungal infection like Jock itch (tinea cruris); consider consulting a dermatologist for a definitive diagnosis
