I'm dealing with a weird ulcer on my scrotum that's been there for about two weeks now. At first, it was really painful, and I thought it might be something like a baltod. Plus, there was this discomfort in my groin where my thigh and abdomen meet. In the second week, the blister turned more into a lump with some yellow discharge, but now that discharge is gone, and so is the top layer of skin. What could be going on? Should I be concerned about this?

To help with the pain and promote healing, you can use an antibiotic ointment like Neosporin or Bacitracin on the ulcer. Additionally, you can take over-the-counter pain relievers like ibuprofen to help with the discomfort. Make sure to keep the area clean and dry. If the symptoms persist or worsen, please consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation and treatment.

I'm dealing with something called tinea incognito and my doctor gave me two creamsLivafin and Onabet. They said to use them twice a day, but I'm confused. Should I be applying both at the same time or just one of them? Could really use some advice here.

You should use both creams as prescribed by your doctor. Apply Livafin cream first, followed by Onabet cream, twice daily. Livafin contains Terbinafine and Onabet contains Sertaconazole, both are antifungal medications that work together to treat tinea incognito effectively.
