I'm dealing with a really uncomfortable fungal infection on my scrotum. Its super painful, and I actually went through this same ordeal about a year ago. This time it's really red, sweaty, and has a painful liquid forming around it. What might be causing this to come back, and how can I get relief from it?

I'm 21 and dealing with oily skin and a dark brown complexion. I've got pimples, blackhead scars, and these big pores from acne. Right now, I'm using Contimycin, Clinagel, and Garnier Men oil clear face wash. I'm really hoping to get whiter skin and finally get rid of this acne. Do you have any suggestions or advice on what I should try next?

To address your acne concerns and skin tone, consider adding the following to your routine: a salicylic acid-based cleanser, a benzoyl peroxide-based spot treatment, a niacinamide serum for skin brightening, and a sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher, while consulting a dermatologist for personalized advice and adjusting your current products as needed.

I've been noticing some dirt-like layers on the skin of my scrotum, similar to what I have in my underarms and neck area. I tried rubbing it off, but it hurts. What should I do to remove these dirt layers safely?

Candid cream for local application is advised for 3 weeks, along with tab flucanozole 150 mg once a week for 2 weeks is advised to the patient.

I was prescribed Halox S solution to use before bed and then shampoo it out the next morning. However, it's just a 30ml bottle, so I'm wondering if I should be diluting the solution or using it differently to make it last longer?

No, continue same treatment as advised by the dermatologist.
