I'm really worried because I've been dealing with itching in my testicles for the last two weeks, and it's just getting worse. I've been taking some medication for three days now, but it doesn't seem to be helping much. What should I do next?

You may be experiencing a fungal infection. I recommend using an antifungal cream such as Clotrimazole 1% cream. Apply a thin layer to the affected area twice a day for at least 2 weeks. Additionally, you can take an oral antifungal medication like Fluconazole 150mg once a week for 4 weeks. Make sure to keep the area clean and dry, and wear loose-fitting underwear to help with the itching.

I've been prescribed Tacroz Forte for my vitiligo, and I have patches on my genitals and forehead. I'm wondering if I should get sun exposure after applying Tacroz Forte ointment on my face. If so, how long should I be in the sun and is there a best time for this? Also, can I apply it on my lips? I was also given Clonate, so I'm unsure which one to use on my lips. Could you clarify this for me?
After applying Tacroz Forte Ointment on your face, it is recommended to avoid prolonged sun exposure. If you need to be in the sun, it is advisable to apply sunscreen with a high SPF. There is no specific time duration mentioned, but it is generally recommended to limit sun exposure and apply sunscreen regularly. Tacroz Forte Ointment should not be applied on the lips. For the lips, you can use Clonate cream as directed by your doctor. Clonate cream is suitable for application on the lips to treat any affected areas.
