I'm dealing with an infection in my inner thighs near my penis, and I'm pretty sure it's fungal because the itching is really intense. I've been using itchguard for the past few days but the itch is still really bad. I'm worried and not sure what else to do. Could you suggest something to help with this constant itching?

You may have a fungal infection in the groin area. In addition to using Itchguard cream, I recommend using an antifungal cream like Clotrimazole 1% cream twice daily on the affected area for 2 weeks. Keep the area clean and dry, wear loose-fitting clothes, and avoid scratching to prevent further irritation. If the symptoms persist or worsen, please consult a doctor for further evaluation and management.

I've got several lipomas on my body, especially on my hand and back. Two lipomas on my back have merged into one big lump, and it sometimes hurts when I sit on a chair. Is there any way to get rid of them without surgery?
excision of the lipoma,sx opinion is also advised.

I've been having some trouble with my foreskin lately. It seems swollen, and I'm unable to retract it over the head of my penis. This has got me pretty worried. Could you help me understand what's happening and what I should do? I'm feeling quite scared about this situation.
Please consult a urologist or dermatologist immediately, as a swollen foreskin that cannot retract can be a medical emergency, and prompt treatment can help alleviate discomfort and prevent complications.Self-Care Measures 1. Practice good hygiene: Gently clean the affected area with mild soap and lukewarm water. 2. Apply a topical cream: Over-the-counter hydrocortisone cream or antibiotic ointment may help reduce inflammation and prevent infection. 3. Avoid irritants: Refrain from using harsh soaps, tight clothing, or engaging in activities that may exacerbate the condition.
