I'm dealing with some pretty intense itching on my inner thighs and it's just so frustrating. It seems like it might be jock itch or something similar. Do you have any suggestions on how I can treat this? I'm really tired of dealing with it and could use some help.

View allI've been using Betnovate N cream on and off for about 10 years, and now I've got these dark spots on my cheeks near my nose. I'm seeing a dermatologist who told me to use Azelaic acid cream 20 at night for just 30 minutes and Dermadew Glow cream during the day. It's almost been a month and I don't really see any improvement. I'm really stressed about these spots. What do you think about this treatment?
Prolonged usage betnovate cream would have made your skin sensitive,and lead for hyperpigmention,it takes time to heal have patience and follow your doctors advice.

I've been noticing some cuts in my skin near my inner thighs, and I think it's because of the dryness from the winter weather. I've already started using a moisturizer to help with the dryness, but I'm really worried about how to actually heal these skin cuts. Could you give me some advice on what else I could do?
