I'm looking for an alternative to Propysalic NF that has a lower steroid composition. I've been dealing with redness on the skin in my thigh joints, and I'm hoping to clear it up. Any suggestions on what might work without too many steroids?

I'm really struggling with this skin issue that's been bothering me since I was thirteen. I have this mole that's the same color as my skin, which I tried treating with baking soda, but that was too awkward to keep up with, so I just covered it with a bandage. Eventually, it fell off, but now there's another oneit's bigger and swollen, around 2 cm on my jaw. I've been trying homeopathic medicine which seems to be helping a bit with the swelling, but it's still there. A doctor suggested laser treatment, but I'm really scared of that. I've been using coconut oil as a home remedy, but I'm concerned about the scar it might leave. Could you advise on any natural treatment options that might help with both the mole and its scar?
I would recommend using a topical cream containing hydroquinone to help lighten the scar left by the mole. You can apply it twice a day for several weeks to see improvement. Additionally, you can try using silicone gel sheets to help flatten and fade the scar. As for the mole itself, since it has reduced in size with homeopathic treatment, you can continue applying coconut oil regularly to see if it further helps in reducing it. If you want to explore other options, you can consider consulting a dermatologist who may suggest other topical treatments or procedures like cryotherapy to remove the mole.

I'm dealing with jock itching every single day, and it's getting really uncomfortable. Can you explain what's causing this and is there a quick home treatment I can try to get some relief?
Jock itching, also known as tinea cruris, is a fungal infection that affects the skin in the groin area. It is commonly caused by a type of fungus called dermatophytes. The warm and moist environment of the groin area provides an ideal breeding ground for these fungi, leading to the development of jock itch. For fast home treatment of jock itching, you can use over-the-counter antifungal creams such as Clotrimazole (Canesten) or Miconazole (Monistat). Apply the cream to the affected area twice a day for at least 2 weeks, even after the symptoms have resolved, to ensure complete eradication of the fungus. Additionally, keeping the affected area clean and dry, wearing loose-fitting clothing, and avoiding sharing personal items like towels can help prevent the spread of the infection.
