It sounds like you may be experiencing a condition called folliculitis, which is inflammation of the hair follicles. You can try using over-the-counter antibacterial washes like Hibiclens or Betadine to help clear up the bumps. Applying a warm compress to the affected area several times a day can also help. Make sure to wear loose-fitting clothing to allow the area to breathe. If the bumps do not improve with home remedies, it would be best to consult a dermatologist for further evaluation and treatment. They may prescribe topical antibiotics or other medications to help clear up the folliculitis. The time it takes to resolve the issue can vary depending on the severity of the condition, but with proper treatment, it should improve within a few weeks.

View allI've been struggling with this annoying itch around my groin and inside of my buttocks for about three weeks now. I started taking canditral, which seemed to help, but it made me really sleepy. I also tried sebifin 250, but I'm still not sure if it's working. What could be causing this itch, and should I continue with the same medication or try something else? I'm a bit worried about the side effects too.
Possible Causes_: Fungal infections, skin irritation, eczema, or dermatitis. _Next Steps_: 1. Re-evaluate Canditral usage. 2. Consider topical treatments like clotrimazole or hydrocortisone. 3. Maintain good hygiene.

I'm really worried about my wife's stretch marks on her inner thighs. She's been using Stretchrid cream recommended by a dermatologist, but its only shown a little improvement. She took an Unwanted 72 contraceptive pill in September 2019, and she's noticed a small weight gain recently, which might be linked to the stretch marks. Can you suggest the right treatment or medication for this?
Retinoids can help improve the appearance of stretch marks by promoting collagen production and increasing skin cell turnover. She can try using Retino-A cream 0.05% once daily at night on the affected areas. In addition to topical treatments, she can also consider taking Vitamin E supplements to support skin health and elasticity. I recommend taking Evion 400mg capsule once daily after a meal. It's important to continue using these medications consistently and be patient, as it may take some time to see significant improvement in the appearance of the stretch marks.
