I'm dealing with a recurring itching issue in my scrotum that's been going on for about three years. I noticed it went away when I used dexoderm cream, but now it's coming back. It's not overwhelming, but it can get pretty uncomfortable at times. What could be causing this, and should I keep using the same cream or try something else?

It sounds like you may be experiencing a recurring fungal infection. I recommend using an antifungal cream like Lotrimin Ultra twice a day for 2 weeks. Additionally, keeping the area clean and dry, wearing loose-fitting underwear, and avoiding irritants like scented soaps can help prevent further irritation.

I'm really worried about these dark toe knuckles I've had for about 34 years. Last year, I tried using HALOXS ointment, and while it seemed to work initially, it only helped for a few days. Now it doesn't seem to do anything and has even made my skin color uneven. I'm really hoping for a permanent solution to this. Any advice?

I've been dealing with some acne on my cheeks and have a few blemish scars too. I'm wondering if I can use Klinface A gel again? It was prescribed to me by my dermatologist before and worked really well in about a month. Is it safe for me to start using it again on my own?
