I've been dealing with an itchy sensation near the area where my underwear sits, and after I scratch, it turns red. I'm really not sure what's going on. What could be causing this, and how can I get some relief?

I've been trying out this NoFap challenge, where guys basically stop watching porn and don't masturbate. I've noticed some great benefits but I'm curious if there are any side effects from not masturbating or ejaculating for a long time. Should I be worried about anything?

Hey, I was prescribed gris odt 250mg for a fungal infection on my back. But when I went to get it, they gave me grisovin FP 250mg because they were out of stock of the original one. I'm a little worried and just want to know if it's okay to use this as a substitute? Can you help me out here?

Grisovin FP (250mg) is a suitable alternative to Gris ODT (250mg) for fungal infections since they have the same active ingredient (Griseofulvin) and similar formulation (oral tablets). Consult your doctor and monitor your response to the medication.

I've been having this really awful fishy smell in my groin area and it's driving me crazy. I wash a lot, but it doesn't seem to help. I've tried using some rubbing alcohol like Seabreeze and it helps for a couple of days, but then it's back again after I sweat at night. I'm worried and not sure what to do next. Any ideas?
