I've been dealing with itching and rashes in my private area for about a month now, and it's getting really bothersome. Because of the lockdown, I haven't been able to see a doctor. Is there anything I can do to help with this at home, or should I be worried about something more serious?

Itchiness and rashes in the private area for a month can be due to a fungal infection. You can try using an over-the-counter antifungal cream like Clotrimazole 1% cream. Apply it twice a day for 2 weeks. Keep the area clean and dry. If there is no improvement or if it worsens, please consult a doctor for further evaluation and management.

I have a lipoma on my forehead right in the center that feels like a cyst. A few doctors said it's nothing to worry about unless it grows bigger, then surgery might be needed. Is there any other treatment option for this or do I just have to wait and see? It's been bothering me and I'm not sure what to do next.

How are lipomas treated? Most lipomas do not need to be removed unless they are painful or need formal diagnosis.
