I've been dealing with an itching issue around my genital area for the past 35 months. It started in the groin area and gradually moved to the scrotum, and now it's also between the butt cheeks. It's really uncomfortable and concerning me. What could be causing this and how should I tackle it?

I've been having these white patches on my scrotal area, and they're itching quite a bit. A friend mentioned it could be a fungal thing, so I tried using some anti-fungal powder. The itching's getting a bit better each day, but the white patches aren't really shrinking. What do you think I should do next?

It sounds like you may be dealing with a fungal infection such as jock itch. In addition to using an antifungal powder, you can also try using an antifungal cream like Clotrimazole 1% cream. Apply it to the affected area twice a day for about 2-4 weeks. Make sure to keep the area clean and dry. If the white patches do not improve or if they worsen, it would be best to consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation and management.

So, my hair started turning white all of a sudden, and I'm noticing there's less of it too. Do you think PRP, you know, platelet rich plasma treatment, would be a good idea for this? I'm just worried about whether it'll help or not.
