I'm having a lot of trouble with itching and cuts on the skin of my scrotum, even though I've tried using different ointments. It's frustrating because the skin keeps getting dry and the cuts keep coming back. What can I do to finally get rid of this dryness and heal these cuts?

That could be fungal infection which needs both oral and topical antifungal medications and personal hygiene is more important for such condition.

I'm dealing with these persistent itches and they seem to get a bit better when I use Valbet or similar antifungal creams, but the relief doesn't last. After about a week, they come back, and this has been going on for over a year now. It's really bothering me. Do you think I might be dealing with a chronic fungal infection or could it be something else? What should I do to finally get rid of it?

I'm using this cream called Lulican and I've been at it for about a week now. My skin is starting to peel, and while the itching has gone down a bit, the redness and marks haven't improved at all. Is this cream supposed to be doing this? Did I get the right diagnosis?

I've got a question about Perlice Lotion. Dr. Aamir Siddiqui suggested it for my mom when she had dandruff and lice a few months ago. I'm wondering if it's okay to use it again or if there's a better option now. What do you think?
