I've been dealing with Fordyce spots on my lips and I'm wondering if surgery is really the only option or if creams, gels, or other treatments could help reduce them

I'm dealing with an infection in my inner thighs near my penis, and I'm pretty sure it's fungal because the itching is really intense. I've been using itchguard for the past few days but the itch is still really bad. I'm worried and not sure what else to do. Could you suggest something to help with this constant itching?

You may have a fungal infection in the groin area. In addition to using Itchguard cream, I recommend using an antifungal cream like Clotrimazole 1% cream twice daily on the affected area for 2 weeks. Keep the area clean and dry, wear loose-fitting clothes, and avoid scratching to prevent further irritation. If the symptoms persist or worsen, please consult a doctor for further evaluation and management.

I've had this butt rash for around three months now, and I think it's been sticking around because of how it's been treated. The pharmacy gave me hydrocortisone cream and these fexofenadine hydrochloride pills to go with it. I'm putting the cream on just once a day and taking one pill daily too. The rash is bumpy and really itchy, plus it feels like the skin is getting kind of dry. What should I do?

Stopusing those medicines and visit Dermatologist for evaluation and appropriate management
