I've been dealing with itchy patches around my vagina and the bend in my inner thigh for about a month now. They look like ringworms and itch really bad, but I haven't tried any medication yet. What do you think I should do?

You may have a fungal infection, such as ringworm. I recommend using an antifungal cream like Clotrimazole 1% cream. Apply a thin layer to the affected areas twice a day for 2-4 weeks. Make sure to keep the area clean and dry to help the medication work effectively. If the symptoms persist or worsen, please follow up with a healthcare provider for further evaluation.

I'm a bit worried about my dad; he started using scabidol ointment for some antibacterial infections, but after about a week, he noticed white patches on the skin where he applied it. Is this something normal, or should we be concerned? What should we do next?

Scabidol ointment is commonly used to treat scabies and other parasitic infections. However, one of its ingredients, sulfur, can cause skin reactions, including skin depigmentation. Possible Causes of White Skin Patches 1. Chemical Leukoderma: Sulfur, an ingredient in Scabidol ointment, can cause chemical leukoderma, a condition characterized by the loss of skin pigmentation. 2. Contact Dermatitis: Your father may have developed contact dermatitis, an allergic reaction to one of the ingredients in the ointment. 3. Skin Irritation: Scabidol ointment can be irritating to the skin, especially if used for an extended period. What to Do Next 1. Stop Using Scabidol Ointment: Immediately discontinue using Scabidol ointment to prevent further skin reactions. 2. Consult a Dermatologist:
