I'm dealing with jock itching every single day, and it's getting really uncomfortable. Can you explain what's causing this and is there a quick home treatment I can try to get some relief?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Jock itching, also known as tinea cruris, is a fungal infection that affects the skin in the groin area. It is commonly caused by a type of fungus called dermatophytes. The warm and moist environment of the groin area provides an ideal breeding ground for these fungi, leading to the development of jock itch. For fast home treatment of jock itching, you can use over-the-counter antifungal creams such as Clotrimazole (Canesten) or Miconazole (Monistat). Apply the cream to the affected area twice a day for at least 2 weeks, even after the symptoms have resolved, to ensure complete eradication of the fungus. Additionally, keeping the affected area clean and dry, wearing loose-fitting clothing, and avoiding sharing personal items like towels can help prevent the spread of the infection.

I've been using this Dr. James Glutathione skin whitening cream for a couple of years, and it really made my skin fair and white. But now my skin has become super sensitive. Every time I go outside in the morning, my face goes all red and feels like it's burning. Since I stopped using that cream, my skins gotten darker. It's weird because my ears and neck are still white, but only my face is darker, and the difference is really noticeable. What should I do about this? Is there a way to fix it? I'm not worried about the cost, so should I look into skin whitening laser treatments or maybe carbon peeling or stem cells? Do you think normal medicines could help, or should I go for one of these high-end procedures? I'm really curious and a bit worried.
