I'm dealing with these persistent itches and they seem to get a bit better when I use Valbet or similar antifungal creams, but the relief doesn't last. After about a week, they come back, and this has been going on for over a year now. It's really bothering me. Do you think I might be dealing with a chronic fungal infection or could it be something else? What should I do to finally get rid of it?

I've been dealing with some itching on my legs and hands, especially when I'm sweating in humid weather. It turns into a burning sensation and I've noticed whiteheads and blackheads forming in those areas. The skin becomes kind of blackish but during the winter or rainy season, it tends to disappear. Lately, it's been spreading to more areas, and its way more noticeable when its hot and humid, like when Im sweating. The whiteheads are a lot, but during the rainy season, things seem to calm downthe skin just looks a bit blackish but theres no itching or whiteheads. What could be causing this, and what can I do about it?

Possible Causes_ 1. *Folliculitis*: Inflammation of hair follicles, often caused by sweat and bacteria. 2. *Keratosis Pilaris*: A skin condition characterized by small, rough bumps (whiteheadsblackheads) due to keratin buildup. 3. *Hyperhidrosis*: Excessive sweating, which can contribute to skin irritation and folliculitis. _Treatment and Prevention_ 1. *Keep the area clean*: Wash with a gentle cleanser to prevent bacterial growth. 2. *Use a topical antibiotic cream*: To reduce inflammation and prevent infection. 3. *Exfoliate gently*: Remove dead skin cells with a gentle exfoliant. 4. *Wear breathable clothing*: Reduce sweat buildup by wearing loose, natural-fiber clothing. 5. *Stay hydrated*: Drink plenty of water to help your skin regulate its natural moisture balance.

I've been really anxious since my circumcision surgery 44 days ago because the stitches are still there. How much longer do these typically take to dissolve? Also, I'm curious when the sensitivity might start to decrease. Is there anything I should be doing in the meantime?

No need to worry they dissolve in 120-180 days depending upon the type of material used, sensitivity will become less with time.
