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 really struggling with jock itch and it's been about 6 months now. I've been using apple cider vinegar on the area, and while it's helped a bit, it's not gone completely. Now I'm getting these boils popping up there and even on my face one after the other. Can someone tell me what treatment will actually get rid of this for good?
