I've been dealing with this itching in my groin area for the last month, and it's really concerning me. There are red spots, and the skin's turned a darker color. I tried using betnovate n cream to help with the itch, but it hasn't worked at all. Sometimes I even get red lumps. What do you think this could be, and how should I treat it?

That looks like fungal infection which needs oral and topical antifungal medication and personal hygiene is the main stay, visit Dermatologist for appropriate management.

View allI've been dealing with this moderate acne issue for a while now because of my PCOS. I'm taking OCs and everything seemed to be under control, but now it's flaring up again. My doctor put me on Isotretinoin 10mg daily for a month and also suggested I use topical tretinoin 0.025mg once a day. Is it okay to use these two treatments together or should I be cautious about using them at the same time?
Yes you can use it no problem,follow your doctors advice

I'm a 21-year-old male and I've noticed something weird lately. When I used to masturbate, I could really feel the sensation around my penis, but now it seems like the sensitivity has decreased and I'm not enjoying it the same way. Is this something I should be worried about? If it is, do you have any suggestions on what I can do?
educed penis sensitivity can be a concern. Here are some possible reasons and suggestions: *Possible Reasons* 1. *Over-masturbation*: Frequent masturbation can lead to desensitization. 2. *Poor masturbation technique*: Aggressive or rough handling can cause nerve damage. 3. *Circumcision or foreskin issues*: Circumcision, foreskin tightness, or foreskin irritation can reduce sensitivity. 4. *Neurological issues*: Conditions like neuropathy, diabetes, or multiple sclerosis can affect nerve sensitivity. 5. *Psychological factors*: Stress, anxiety, or performance anxiety can contribute to reduced sensitivity. *Measures to Improve Sensitivity* 1. *Take breaks from masturbation*: Give your penis time to recover and regain sensitivity. 2. *Practice gentle masturbation techniques*: Use lubricants and gentle strokes to reduce friction and irritation. 3. *Forearm exercises*: Strengthen your forearm muscles to improve blood flow and sensitivity. 4. *Sensate focus exercises*: Practice mindfulness and focus on sensations during masturbation to increase awareness and sensitivity.
