I'm trying to deal with this jock itch, and I've been using cipladine cream and Dettol, but I'm not sure if that's the right approach. Is there a better or permanent solution for jock itch that I should be considering?

I'm 11 and I've had chicken pox, and since then I've noticed some moles on my face that just won't go away. Also, I've been dealing with acne, mostly on my forehead and chin. Could you give me some advice on how to get rid of these moles and what to do about the acne issue?

There is no relation between chicken pox and moles. Acne is a common problem in your age group. Do not pop out your acne as they will leave scars. Avoid using hair oil as this can aggravate your acne on forehead.
