I'm dealing with jock itch and recently tried to remove hair in the area, but now it's itching like crazy because the small hair follicles are growing back and it's really uncomfortable. Is there some kind of ointment that can numb the surface? The jock itch seems to be almost cured, but this new itching from the hair follicles is driving me mad.

I've started using Erythego gel and Ivermectin cream because my face was feeling hot and burning with some redness. At first, the redness seemed to get better, but the burning feeling didn't really go away. It only stops for a bit when I put on the medicine, but the rest of the time, my face still feels warm. I'm starting to wonder if these medications could be making the burning worse instead of helping me. Could they be causing the redness, too?

yes

I'm using minoxidil to help with hair growth and I've been at it for about a month now under my doctor's guidance. But I've noticed that I'm getting flaky white dandruff on my scalp from using it regularly. Is it normal to get dandruff when using minoxidil? Also, what would be the best way to handle it? I've heard that washing with anti-dandruff shampoo every day might not be great for my hair. What do you suggest?
