I'm dealing with tinea cruris and used RABHICO Skin Ointment, which is similar to btex. Now I'm experiencing redness, pain, and swelling over a large area. What should I do about this reaction? Is it normal, or should I be worried?

It sounds like you may be experiencing an adverse reaction to the ointment you used. Stop using it immediately and soothe your skin with a cool compress, moisturizers, and anti-inflammatory creams. If the symptoms persist, it's essential to consult a doctor for a proper diagnosis and alternative treatment for your tinea cruris.

I'm noticing these two long, red, thick lines forming on my stomach and one on my left upper arm. They're getting more pronounced and resemble a scar, almost like someone cut me with a knife. I'm really puzzled because they don't look like stretch marks to me. Can you help me figure out what kind of skin issue this might be?

I'm dealing with a situation where my partner's sweat has a vinegar-like smell, and it's really affecting our sheets and bedding. The smell can be so intense that it's almost unbearable at times. I'm not sure what's causing it or how we should address it. We try to keep our room cool and only use light blankets. Any advice on what might be causing this or how to manage it would be so appreciated.

The strong vinegar-like smell in sweat could be due to a condition called "Maple Syrup Urine Disease" (MSUD), which can cause a similar odor. I recommend consulting a doctor for proper diagnosis and treatment. In the meantime, you can try using an antibacterial soap for bathing and washing the bedding with a vinegar solution to help neutralize the odor.
