I'm really worried about these sebaceous cysts I've noticed. Are they something serious that I should be concerned about? I'd love to know what exactly causes them and if there's a way to actually treat or cure them. Any insight would be super helpful!

I'm 28 and have always struggled with oily skin, and that means dealing with pimples and their marks constantly. A few months back, I tried retino a with eukroma cream in a chickpea-sized amount, and after 3 months, my skin was looking great. But I stopped using eukroma and now all the pimples and marks are back. Should I start using eukroma again or is there a different approach I should consider? Any thoughts on what I can do to get rid of these spots once and for all?

I'm really worried because I've been dealing with rashes on my thighs and scrotum for a month now, and more recently there's this intense burning sensation on my scrotum. What could be causing this, and how can I get some relief?

You can use an antifungal cream such as Clotrimazole 1% cream. Apply a thin layer of the cream to the affected areas twice a day for 2-4 weeks. Additionally, keeping the area clean and dry, wearing loose-fitting clothing, and avoiding scratching the area can help with healing.
