I'm a guy dealing with a yeast-like smell from my groin for a few months now. I've tried jock itch cream, but it's just not working. I shower twice daily and keep clean, but this odor is persistent. What could be causing this, and how can I get rid of it?

I recommend using an antifungal medication such as Clotrimazole cream twice a day for at least 2 weeks. Additionally, you can take Fluconazole tablets once a day for 7-14 days to help treat the infection from the inside. Make sure to keep the area clean and dry, wear loose-fitting clothing, and avoid sugary foods that can worsen yeast infections. If the symptoms persist, consult a healthcare provider for further evaluation.

View allI'm currently using Hair4u shampoo by Glenmark every day and applying Tugain form 5 at night. I'm wondering if it's okay to wash my hair daily with this shampoo. Is this something that's usually recommended? I'm a bit concerned and would appreciate your advice on whether this routine is safe.
yes you can as it is advised by your doctor but if your scalp is irretated and dry it is recomended to limit the usage to 3-4 times a week

I'm noticing small pimples around the base of my penis, near where my pubic hair is. It's becoming quite painful and I recently had unprotected sex, so I'm starting to worry. It feels like boils are forming. What could be causing this?
It sounds like you may be experiencing a genital infection, possibly due to a sexually transmitted infection (STI) or a bacterial infection. I recommend you to use an antibiotic ointment like Neosporin and take an oral antibiotic like Azithromycin 500mg once a day for 3 days. It's important to also practice safe sex and get tested for STIs to prevent future infections.

I'm really struggling with this itching problem on my skin that I've had for many years. I've been using a soap named Tetmosol, and it helps until the evening, but then the itching comes back. I'm curious if there's anything else I could try or if there's something more to it? It's been quite frustrating dealing with this every day.
It sounds like you may be experiencing a skin condition that requires ongoing management. In addition to using Tetmosol soap, you can also try using a topical corticosteroid cream like Betnovate (Betamethasone) twice a day on the affected areas. Make sure to apply a thin layer and gently rub it in. If the itching persists, you can also take an oral antihistamine like Cetirizine 10mg once daily in the evening to help with the itching. Remember to continue using these medications as directed by a healthcare professional.
