I'm curious about why my hand palms have turned completely black. My overall health is fine and my skin is generally a yellow color, but this change in my palms has got me wondering what's going on. Could you help me understand the possible reasons?

I'm dealing with an itchy rash on my scrotum that started last night. It's painful and feels worse with sweating, like prickly heat. I'm really uncomfortable and worried. Can you suggest any home treatments or remedies that might help relieve this?

To treat jock itch at home, you can use over-the-counter antifungal creams such as Lotrimin Ultra or Lamisil AT. Apply the cream to the affected area twice a day for at least 2 weeks. In addition to using antifungal creams, it is important to keep the affected area clean and dry. Make sure to wash the area with mild soap and water, and pat it dry thoroughly. Wearing loose-fitting underwear made of breathable fabric like cotton can also help reduce sweating and irritation. If your symptoms do not improve after 2 weeks of home treatment, or if they worsen, it is important to consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation and treatment.
