I'm dealing with this itching issue around the hairy area near my penis and some other parts nearby. Its not super severe, but its to the point where I need candid powder just to get out of bed and feel okay in the mornings. And I can't seem to step outside without a shower first. What's a permanent fix for this? Could you suggest something that can help in the long run?

It sounds like you may be experiencing a fungal infection in the groin area. To treat this condition, you can use an antifungal cream such as Clotrimazole cream twice daily for 2-4 weeks. Additionally, you can take oral antifungal medication like Fluconazole 150mg once a week for 4 weeks. It is important to maintain good hygiene, keep the area clean and dry, and avoid wearing tight clothing. If the symptoms persist or worsen, please consult a doctor for further evaluation and management.

I'm noticing these two long, red, thick lines forming on my stomach and one on my left upper arm. They're getting more pronounced and resemble a scar, almost like someone cut me with a knife. I'm really puzzled because they don't look like stretch marks to me. Can you help me figure out what kind of skin issue this might be?
