I'm really struggling with some serious itching around my groin, and it seems to get worse when things get wet down there. I've tried a bunch of creams, but the itching just keeps coming back, and every time I scratch, it ends up bruising and hurting even more. It's spreading, and now it's around my butt crack too, which is making me really nervous. Ive been using a hot air blower to soothe it, but I'm worried this could mess with my sperm count because of the heat. What should I do?

To treat this, I recommend using an antifungal cream such as Clotrimazole 1% cream. Apply a thin layer of the cream to the affected area twice a day for 2-4 weeks. Additionally, you can take an oral antifungal medication like Fluconazole 150mg once a week for 4 weeks to help clear the infection from within. Make sure to keep the area clean and dry, and avoid scratching to prevent further irritation. If the itching persists or worsens, please follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.

I've been using Lumaglo for about three weeks, and now my skin has turned red. Plus, it's started peeling off in small layers, leaving these white patches. It's almost like the affected areas are turning black too. I'm really worried about what's happening. Could you please help me understand what's going on and what I should do about it?

I've been dealing with these more than 50 lipomas for years now, and they're just getting bigger as time goes on. It's really starting to worry me, and I'm wondering what my options are to get rid of them. Is there anything I can do to prevent them from growing further or any treatments that can help?

.lipoma isn't cancer and usually is harmless. Treatment generally isn't necessary, but if the lipoma bothers you, is painful or is growing, you may want to have it removed.... Most lipomas are removed surgically by cutting them out...Recurrences after removal are uncommon.
