I've been dealing with jock itch and these white itching patches in my jock area for over a year now. Ive tried using antifungal powder, but it doesnt seem to work. Is there something else I can do to get relief from this? Im really worried its not going away, and I just dont know what to try next. Could there be another underlying issue causing this?

Persistent jock itch and white patches can be frustrating. Since antifungal powder hasn't worked, consider:
- Consult a dermatologist: Get a proper diagnosis and guidance.
- Try antifungal creams: Clotrimazole, miconazole, or terbinafine might be more effective.
- Improve hygiene: Wash the area with soap and water, dry thoroughly, and wear breathable clothing.
- Tea tree oil: Mix a few drops with a carrier oil (coconut or olive) and apply to the affected area.

View allI'm dealing with really swollen and painful armpits for about a week now. There's nothing visible except for the swelling. Should I be worried, or is there something specific I should be doing or looking out for?
Swollen and painful armpits for a week warrant medical attention; possible causes include infected lymph nodes, hidradenitis suppurativa, or an allergic reaction; apply warm compresses to reduce discomfort and schedule an appointment with a doctor, who may prescribe antibiotics or further testing, such as a biopsy or ultrasound, to determine the underlying cause.
