I've been dealing with this itching problem all over my body for about a month now, and I'm really not sure what to do next. I tried using Dettol and itch guard, but they haven't helped. It's pretty frustrating. Any idea what might be causing this or what I should try next?

Itching for a month could be due to allergies, dry skin, infections, or other underlying issues. Avoid scratching, keep your skin moisturized, and wear loose, breathable clothes. Since Dettol and itch guard didnt help, consult a dermatologist to identify the cause and get proper treatment. Avoid self-medicating further.

I've been experiencing some really irritating discomfort beneath my scrotum close to the anus, especially when I'm sweating. It feels itchy, and when I scratch, it sometimes gets worse and even starts weeping. I've noticed rashes popping up occasionally, and it creates this awful burning sensation that makes me really uncomfortable. I'm working in an office, and it's pretty embarrassing when I need to scratch under the table. What could be causing this, and how can I find some relief?
