I've been dealing with this annoying fungal infection for a while now. It started on my inner thighs and has somehow spread to my face, neck, ears, and even my buttocks. I've tried going to several good hospitals and while the medicines seem to work at first, as soon as I stop taking them, the infection comes back within a few days. I'm really worried and not sure what to do. Any advice on how I can get rid of this for good?

In this case, I would recommend trying a combination antifungal cream that contains Clotrimazole and Betamethasone. This can help to both treat the infection and reduce inflammation in the affected areas. Additionally, it's important to keep the affected areas clean and dry, as fungi thrive in warm and moist environments. Make sure to wear loose-fitting clothing and change out of sweaty clothes promptly. I hope this helps in managing your fungal infection.

I've been dealing with this really uncomfortable itching on my scrotum and the head of my penis for about 34 days now. The scrotum is also oozing a clear, smelly liquid, and the penis head looks a bit swollen with severe itching. It's not affecting my thighs, just the scrotum and penis head. I'm really worried and not sure whats going on. Can anyone help figure out what this might be?

You may be experiencing a fungal infection in the genital area. To treat this condition, you can use an antifungal cream containing Clotrimazole. Apply the cream on the affected areas, including the scrotum sac and penis head. Additionally, you can take an oral antifungal medication like Fluconazole to help clear up the infection. Make sure to keep the area clean and dry, and avoid wearing tight clothing to help with the healing process.
