I'm dealing with these small itchy bumps just inside my butt, near the anus. It's really uncomfortable because they itch a lot, and even when I try not to scratch, bits of my skin come off. I've got a picture if that would help explain it better. What do you think it could be?

I've been struggling with this ringworm for about 45 days now. At first, I thought it was just something minor, but after about 30 days, I figured out its actually ringworm. I'm using itchguard cream for temporary relief is this safe or should I be concerned? Would love to hear your advice on this.

Itchguard cream, containing clotrimazole, is an antifungal medication that can help treat ringworm, so using it temporarily is likely beneficial in reducing symptoms and fighting the infection; however, for optimal results and to ensure the infection is fully cleared, consider consulting a dermatologist for a comprehensive diagnosis and guidance on treatment duration and potential oral antifungal medications.

Can I use Emolene cream as my daily moisturizer? I've got super sensitive skin, and even natural products seem to irritate it. Also, is it okay to put sunscreen on top of the Emolene cream? Would love some advice on this.

SPF 3O is advised to the patient.
