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've been dealing with a really sticky neck for the last couple of weeks. No matter how often I wash it, the stickiness comes back in just about 10 minutes. I'm sweating a normal amount, and I've never experienced anything like this before. I've tried washing with water and soap, but even right after a shower, my neck feels sticky again within 5 to 10 minutes. Any suggestions on how to get rid of this?
Sticky neck can be frustrating. Possible causes include: - Excessive sweating - Bacterial or fungal infections - Skin conditions like eczema or seborrheic dermatitis - Product buildup Try these remedies: 1. _Antibacterial soap_: Use a mild antibacterial soap to reduce bacteria. 2. _Antifungal powder_: Apply an antifungal powder to reduce fungal growth. 3. _Baby powder or talcum powder_: Absorb moisture and reduce stickiness. 4. _Apple cider vinegar_: Mix with water as a final rinse to balance skin pH. 5. _Tea tree oil_: Mix with water and apply to reduce bacterial and fungal growth.

I'm dealing with some infections and small ulcers on my penis and the surrounding area. I've tried using candid dusting powder, and it helped a bit, but it's not completely gone. It's been about 10 days now. What do you think I should do?
use antibiotics also.

I recently had protected sex and gave unprotected oral sex to my friend. Afterwards, I developed angular cheilitis, but thankfully it cleared up within five days with treatment. I'm concerned though, could licking the vagina be the reason I got angular cheilitis?
.based on history that you are telling, most probably it was herpes labialis that you suffered from not angular cheilitis..
