I'm dealing with jock itch and it's been about three weeks now. I tried using coconut oil for the first two weeks which gave me some temporary relief, but it didn't completely get rid of it. This past week, I've started using Itch Guard for about four days, and now I'm noticing some bumps where the rash is. Any idea what's going on? Could you suggest some cream or treatment that might actually cure this?

You may be suffering from tinea cruris which is fungal infection of the inner thighs and buttocks area. It can be treated by taking four to six weeks of anti fungal treatment which includes tablets along with creams. Do not use soap over that area. Mistreatment with over the counter Steroid containing creams like fourderm, panderm, quadriderm, hh zole, candid b etc lead to repeated case of recurrence and also side effects due to application. Do not use steroid containing combination creams.

View allI've been dealing with this really annoying itching all over my body for the past week. I'm not sure what's causing it and it's really starting to bother me. Any idea what might be going on or what I should do about it?
You may be experiencing a condition called urticaria, also known as hives. To help relieve the itching, you can take cetirizine (brand name Zyrtec) 10mg once daily. Additionally, you can apply calamine lotion to the affected areas for soothing relief. If the itching persists or worsens, please follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.

I'm a bit worried about a brown mole on the shaft of my penis. It's around 57mm in diameter and has an irregular border. It started out at about 2mm just five months ago. Do you think I should get it checked out by a doctor?
