I'm dealing with a strong fishy odor coming from my groin area, and it's really uncomfortable. There's also constant itching and some red spots, and it doesn't seem to go away during the day. What could be causing this and how can I make it better?

The fishy odor, itching, and red spots in the groin area may indicate a bacterial or fungal infection, such as bacterial vaginosis, trichomiasis, or intertrigo; consult a dermatologist

I'm trying to find a B B cream that won't make my oily and acne-prone skin worse. Do you have any suggestions on which brand might work best for me? I could really use some advice.

My face is totally covered with blackheads and whiteheads, except on my forehead. I scrub twice every day because otherwise I feel too self-conscious to go out. I've tried tons of dermatological products, including the PERNEX my last dermatologist suggested, but nothing has worked. Do you know anything that might actually help? I'm feeling really frustrated about this situation.

It sounds like you have tried various dermatological products without success. In this case, you can try using a topical retinoid cream such as Differin (adapalene) gel. Apply a pea-sized amount to the affected areas once daily at night. Additionally, you can use a salicylic acid cleanser like Neutrogena Oil-Free Acne Wash. Use it twice daily to help unclog pores and prevent new blackheads and whiteheads from forming. Remember to moisturize your skin as retinoids can be drying. Be patient as it may take a few weeks to see improvement.

I'm a 21-year-old guy and I've got oily skin, but fortunately, I don't have any pimples. I'm looking for a facewash that would be suitable for my skin type. Do you have any recommendations?

I recommend using "Cetaphil Oily Skin Cleanser". Use it twice a day, in the morning and evening, for best results.
