I'm dealing with some serious itching and irritation around my pubic area, and I'm really worried. There are these white or grey spots with light pink in between, and the skin looks different from the surrounding area. It seems like this is spreading to my groin and even affecting my scrotum, which also feels infected. It's really covering a good part of the area between my thighs, and the itching is just unbearable. What could this be, and how should I handle it?

That looks like fungal infection which needs oral and topical antifungal medication and personal hygiene is the main stay, visit Dermatologist for appropriate management.

I've been using mintop for the past 30 days and haven't noticed any side effects so far. I'm thinking about continuing it for another 3 months, but I'm a bit worried about any long-term effects. Is there anything I should be aware of when using mintop 10 foam for an extended period?
