I've been dealing with dark armpits and it's really bothering me. Is there any treatment available that can actually help lighten them? Is it truly possible to whiten them with some kind of treatment?

I've been using mintop for the past 3 months and ever since I started, I've been experiencing a lot of itching where I apply it. Is this normal? Should I be concerned about the irritation, or maybe try something different? Any advice would be appreciated!

To help alleviate the itching, you can try using a mild, fragrance-free moisturizer on the affected area. Additionally, you can use an over-the-counter hydrocortisone cream to help reduce the itching. If the itching persists or becomes severe, please consult your doctor for further evaluation and management.

I've been dealing with jock itch since July this year, so it's been over two months. I admit I didnt take it seriously at first, but I started applying betadine frequentlylike every few hoursover the past week except when I'm sleeping. The rash has spread to almost my entire groin area, and I'm not sure if its actually improving. I havent had the chance to see a doctor yet, but I'm curious if this kind of jock itch can still be treated effectively with betadine. What do you think?

Applying betadine may help with disinfection, but for the treatment of jock itch, it is important to use antifungal medication. I recommend using an antifungal cream like Clotrimazole 1% cream. Additionally, you can take oral antifungal medication like Fluconazole. Make sure to keep the area clean and dry, wear loose-fitting clothes, and avoid sharing towels or clothing to prevent spreading the infection.

I'm a bit worried because I've been using Panderm Plus cream for about 3 years and decided to stop recently, but now I'm experiencing some side effects. There's this itching and my skin just feels really dry. I'm curious if there's anything specific I can do about it? Are there any tablets or remedies youd recommend to help me get rid of this problem? Would love some advice on how to handle this situation.
