I'm struggling with this jock itch around my groin and butt area. I've tried using antifungal ointment, but it hasnt made a difference. Some spots have even turned dark, and it's getting really uncomfortable. Do you think I might need to take tablets for it?

It sounds like your jock itch may be resistant to topical treatment alone. In this case, oral anti-fungal medications may be necessary to effectively treat the infection. I recommend taking Fluconazole 150mg once a week for 4 weeks. Additionally, continue using the anti-fungal ointment as directed for better results. Make sure to keep the affected area clean and dry to prevent further irritation.

View allI'm noticing this really dark black layer that keeps forming on just my nose and chin. It's only happening in those areas and it's starting to worry me. What could be causing this, and should I be concerned?
Be gentle with your skin. Avoid aggressive scrubbing or using products that could irritate it further. Maintain a consistent skincare routine and be patient, as fading dark spots can take time (usually a few weeks to a couple of months). Stay hydrated and maintain a balanced diet rich in antioxidants to support overall skin health. If the problem persists or if you suspect an underlying skin condition, a dermatologist can provide targeted treatments like chemical peels, laser therapy, or prescription-strength creams to address the issue.

I've just gotten over a bout of chickenpox and it seems like I'm all cured now after about 15 days. I'm wondering how long I should wait before it's safe to have sex with my wife. What do you think?
yes you can do because Chickenpox is contagious for one to two days before the appearance of the rash and until the blisters have dried and become scabs.
