Question 1

I'm dealing with an ongoing itch and redness around my ball sack area and between my thighs. It's been bugging me for two months, and I think it might be a fungal infection. I'm really concerned as it seems to be getting worse. Could this be something serious? Any advice would be great.

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 panderm, quadriderm, dermi 5, candid b etc lead to repeated case of recurrence and also side effects due to application. Do not use steroid containing combination creams.
