I've been dealing with acne and pimple breakouts for the past 5 years, and thankfully they have finally stopped. But now I'm left with a face full of scars, acne marks, and discoloration. What can I do to even out my skin tone and maybe reduce these marks and scars?

I've been dealing with jock itch for about four months now. I've tried different creams and powders, but nothing seems to work, and it just keeps getting worse. The rash is spreading, and its getting super itchy. I've used clotrimazole and terbinafine but no luck. What should I do? It's really getting uncomfortable.

Seems like the jock itch is not responding to the antifungal treatments you have tried. In such cases, oral antifungal medications may be necessary to treat the infection effectively. I recommend taking oral fluconazole along with continuing the topical antifungal creams. Please consult your healthcare provider for the appropriate dosage and duration of treatment. Additionally, keeping the affected area clean and dry, wearing loose-fitting clothing, and avoiding sharing personal items can help prevent further spread of the infection.
