I'm wondering if it's okay to use Kozilite cream as my night cream long-term. I've been using it for about a month now and I love the results, but I recently read that using kojic acid for a long time might cause vitiligo. I have fair skin and don't have any pigmentation issues. Is it safe to keep using it?

View allI'm really worried about this fungal infection on the skin around my scrotum. It's been there for a while now, and nothing seems to be helping it go away. I've got some pictures if that helps to explain things better. What do you think could be causing this, and what should I do next? Should I come in for a check-up right away?
Chronic Fungal infection needs long-term treatment, personal hygiene measures are most important to cure this disease, practice special care towards affected area.

I've been dealing with tinea cruris and my doctor prescribed me to take gris ODT for a couple of weeks and to use XYZal 10 mg as needed, along with Onabet cream without steroids. I followed this for two weeks and the infection seems almost gone, but the doctor advised me to continue the gris ODT for another week and the cream for two more weeks. Occasionally, I still get a light itching sensation around my area. Should I keep taking gris ODT for even longer? If so, how many more weeks should I continue? Also, can you suggest a good soap to use for the genital area?
You can use a gentle and mild soap for the genital area, such as Dove Sensitive Skin Beauty Bar or Cetaphil Gentle Cleansing Bar. Make sure to avoid harsh soaps or those with strong fragrances to prevent irritation. Yes, you should continue taking Gris ODT as advised by your doctor. I recommend continuing Gris ODT for another week to ensure the infection is completely gone
