I've been dealing with this itchiness and discomfort when swallowing for the past three months, and I've also noticed a white cream-like substance on the top of my penis. I started using Candid B cream on it and have taken some tablets and capsules, but I'm not sure if it's helping. Could this be something serious, and is there anything else I should try or be worried about?

It sounds like you might be dealing with a fungal infection, which is common in such areas. The use of Candid-B cream could help, but if the condition persists, its important to see a doctor for a proper diagnosis and possibly a more targeted treatment plan. Keeping the area dry and clean is also crucial for healing.

View allI'm really worried about my skin. It's got heavy pigmentation with dark spots and pimples, and it just looks dull and awful, especially when I've been out in the sun. My face gets all dull and dark, with these black patches and dark circles. Even my neck has dark lines and pigmentation. Plus, I've been dealing with a fungal infection that's making me itch in private areas. What can I do to deal with all these skin issues?
For fungal infection and itching in private body parts, you can use an antifungal cream containing clotrimazole or miconazole. Make sure to keep the affected area clean and dry, and wear loose-fitting clothing to prevent further irritation. For heavy pigmentation, dark spots, and pimples, you can use a combination of topical treatments such as hydroquinone cream for pigmentation, benzoyl peroxide for pimples, and retinoid cream for dark spots. For tanned and dull skin, you can use a sunscreen with high SPF during the day and a skin brightening cream containing ingredients like vitamin C or niacinamide at night.

I've been using Betnovate cream for nearly two weeks, and instead of improving, the pimples and marks on my face have gotten much worse. I don't usually have acne, but I do have some pimple marks on my face, and my skin is really sensitive and oily. Could this cream be making things worse? What should I do now?
