I've been dealing with this itching problem for almost 25 days now, mostly in the lower part of my body. It started on my thighs and around the genital area. I used Fourderm cream, and the itching in the genital area got better, but my thighs are still really itchy. Now, it's even affecting the area below my knees, with the intensity changing day by day. Some days it seems to get better, and then it comes back. I've also noticed small red spots on my thighs but not below the knees. I'm really worried about what could be causing this and what I should do next. Can you help?

according to your description it can be reccurrent fungal infection please follow these measures 1. Keep the area clean and dry: Wash the affected area with soap and water, and dry it thoroughly, especially after exercising or sweating. 2. Wear breathable clothing: Choose natural fibers like cotton, and avoid tight-fitting clothes that can trap moisture. 3. Use an antifungal powder or spray: Apply an antifungal powder or spray to the affected area, especially after showering or bathing. 4.

I'm really worried about how frequently I've been masturbating and if that's a reason I ended up with candidal balanoposthitis. Do you think cutting back on masturbation could help fix this problem?
Masturbation itself is unlikely to directly cause candidal balanoposthitis. However, excessive masturbation can contribute to the development of this condition indirectly: _Friction and irritation_: Frequent masturbation can cause friction, leading to irritation and micro-tears in the skin. This can create an environment conducive to Candida overgrowth. _Moisture accumulation_: Masturbation can lead to increased moisture in the genital area, which can contribute to Candida growth. _Imbalanced skin pH_: Frequent masturbation can disrupt the natural skin pH, creating an environment that fosters Candida growth. Limiting masturbation may help alleviate some contributing factors, but it is unlikely to cure candidal balanoposthitis on its own. Treatment typically involves: _Antifungal medications_: Topical or oral antifungals to address the Candida infection. _Good genital hygiene_: Keeping the area clean and dry. _Avoiding irritants_: Reducing friction and avoiding harsh soaps or products.

I'm 27 and have been dealing with a lipoma for around six years. A year ago, I found two more big ones, had surgery to remove them, but now I've noticed about 15 small ones popping up on my body. They're quite tiny at the moment. Can you give me some advice on how to get rid of them while they're still small? Also, I've just started taking homeopathy medicine a couple of days ago. I hit the gym daily - does working out make these lipomas grow more? Plus, I take whey protein. Could this be a factor?
No need to worry,thats called durcums disease and those lipomas are harmless,if they are concerning you cosmetically,visit Plastic surgeon for appropriate management
