I'm struggling with a pretty stubborn case of jock itch. It's been lingering for about a month, and even though it's a bit better now, the itching is still quite intense. Can you suggest a good antifungal cream to help clear this up?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
-For jock itch, you can use Clotrimazole cream (e.g., Candid or Lotrimin) or Ketoconazole cream (e.g., Nizoral). Apply a thin layer twice daily after washing and drying the area thoroughly. Continue using it for at least 2 weeks after the itching subsides

View allI have a cut on my left hand that's not too deep but has left a complete mark. What treatment options are there for it? Also, if I consider plastic surgery, how much would it cost to get rid of the scar?
For a superficial cut leaving a scar on your left hand, several treatment options can help minimize its appearance. Topical treatments like silicone gel or cream, pressure dressings, and even some natural remedies can be effective. If you are considering scar revision surgery, it can alter the appearance of the scar but may not completely remove it, and the cost can vary based on the complexity of the scar and the surgeon's fees

I've been dealing with this itching problem all over my body for about a month now, and I'm really not sure what to do next. I tried using Dettol and itch guard, but they haven't helped. It's pretty frustrating. Any idea what might be causing this or what I should try next?
Itching for a month could be due to allergies, dry skin, infections, or other underlying issues. Avoid scratching, keep your skin moisturized, and wear loose, breathable clothes. Since Dettol and itch guard didnt help, consult a dermatologist to identify the cause and get proper treatment. Avoid self-medicating further.
