I'm noticing some itching all over my body, and it's really intense, especially around my thighs and inner thighs. I'm also seeing some red bumps in those areas. What could be causing this, and should I be worried?

It sounds like you may be experiencing a case of fungal infection, such as jock itch. You can try using an over-the-counter antifungal cream like Lotrimin Ultra or Lamisil AT. Apply the cream to the affected areas twice a day for about 2 weeks. Make sure to keep the area clean and dry, and wear loose-fitting clothing to help with the itching and red bumps.

I'm noticing some kind of white powder on my head, and I'm pretty sure it's not dandruff. I've tried a bunch of remedies, but nothing seems to help. My scalp feels really itchy, especially when I go from a cool place to a warmer one. What could this be, and how can I make it better?

It sounds like you may be experiencing a fungal infection on your scalp, such as tinea capitis. I recommend using an antifungal shampoo containing ketoconazole. You can try using Nizoral shampoo twice a week for 4 weeks. Make sure to leave the shampoo on your scalp for 5 minutes before rinsing off. Additionally, you can take an oral antifungal medication like fluconazole, prescribed by a doctor, to help treat the infection from the inside. Make sure to follow the recommended dosage and duration of treatment.

I've been dealing with a fungal infection on my hips for the past two years, and it's getting unbearable. It hurts a lot and the itching is intense, sometimes even causing bleeding when I itch. I've been treating it for two years, but the moment I stop the medication, it comes back. I can't even get a good night's sleep because of it. Can you please help me figure out what to do?

I've been having some issues after using Onabet cream on my private area. My skin feels really dry and hard now. I've tried using Boro cream to add some moisture, but I'm really worried about how uncomfortable it still is. Could you please give me some advice on what to do next?
