I've been dealing with a fungal infection on my inner thighs for the past four months. I've tried using candid cream, but I haven't noticed any improvement. Is there something else I should try, or do I need to see a doctor in person about this? I'm kind of worried it might get worse.

Consider consulting a dermatologist for a proper diagnosis and treatment, as persistent fungal infections may require oral antifungals, topical creams like clotrimazole or terbinafine, or other treatments, and make sure to keep the affected area clean, dry, and well-ventilated.

View allI've noticed that the skin around my penis and testicles has turned red and it's really itchy. It seems like there's some kind of sticky liquid discharge too. I've never been sexually active, so I'm unsure about what's happening. Could this be an infection or something else, and what should I do about it?
Use an antifungal cream like Clotrimazole 1% twice a day on the affected area for 1-2 weeks. Keep the area clean and dry, and avoid wearing tight clothing. If the symptoms persist or worsen, please consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation and management.

I've been experiencing itching on my hands and legs for the past week, but there's no redness or visible spots on my skin. It seems to start the day after I drink alcohol and hasn't stopped since. I checked online, and it suggests that internal illness might show up first as itchy skin. Can you help me figure out what's going on?
Itching on hands and legs without visible redness or spots, triggered by alcohol consumption, could be related to various internal factors, such as liver or kidney issues, allergic reactions, or nutrient deficiencies, and while Google searches can provide insights, it's essential to consult a healthcare professional for personalized evaluation, diagnosis, and treatment, as they will likely order blood tests, medical history, and physical examination to determine the underlying cause of your itching sensation.

I'm a bit concerned because I've been using Betnovate cream on my face for skin lightening over the past 5 years, like every other day or sometimes thrice a week. Is this safe to keep using in the long run? Are there any side effects I should be aware of?
