I'm dealing with a jock itch issue and I've been considering using ITMAC 100. I've attached a picture for reference. It's been a struggle for about 2 years now, and I'm really seeking some help and advice. Could you let me know if ITMAC 100 would be a good option or suggest anything else that might help?

In jock itch, IT-MAC 100 can be taken. It is an antifungal medication that can help treat fungal infections like jock itch. The usual dosage is 100mg once daily for 2-4 weeks. However, it is important to consult with a healthcare professional before starting any medication.

I've had issues before with redness and sores on my penis, and during the lockdown, one dermatologist said it was genital herpes. He prescribed Acyclovir, but it didn't work, so I saw another dermatologist in person. She diagnosed it as a secondary bacterial infection and balanoposthitis, which cleared up after treatment. Out of curiosity, I got IgM and IgG blood tests for HSV 1 and 2, plus other STD tests, and everything came back negative. I repeated the tests after three months and they were still negative. Now, this year, I've noticed redness and a sore again. Should I be worried that it's herpes, or is it likely to be something else?

Given your previous history and negative blood test results for HSV 1 and 2, it is less likely that the current symptoms are due to herpes. It is important to consider other possible causes such as a fungal infection, contact dermatitis, or another type of bacterial infection. I recommend using an antifungal cream like Clotrimazole 1% twice a day for 2 weeks to see if there is any improvement. If there is no improvement or if the symptoms worsen, please consult a dermatologist for further evaluation and management.

I'm dealing with some black patches around my chin, right below my mouth, and near my nose and lips. They sometimes peel off, leaving dry skin, but right now they're just dark spots. I was told by a dermatologist a year ago that it might be seborrheic melanosis, but the treatment she suggested didn't work, and she mentioned it can't be treated permanently. It had lightened up a bit, but now it's dark again. Is there any way to treat this permanently?

this needs physical examination and appropriate approach,visit dermatologist for the same, do not try to squeeze it or scratch it
