Question 1

I've been dealing with jock itch since July this year, so it's been over two months. I admit I didnt take it seriously at first, but I started applying betadine frequentlylike every few hoursover the past week except when I'm sleeping. The rash has spread to almost my entire groin area, and I'm not sure if its actually improving. I havent had the chance to see a doctor yet, but I'm curious if this kind of jock itch can still be treated effectively with betadine. What do you think?

Accepted Answer

Applying betadine may help with disinfection, but for the treatment of jock itch, it is important to use antifungal medication. I recommend using an antifungal cream like Clotrimazole 1% cream. Additionally, you can take oral antifungal medication like Fluconazole. Make sure to keep the area clean and dry, wear loose-fitting clothes, and avoid sharing towels or clothing to prevent spreading the infection.

Question 2

Accepted Answer

Onabet-B cream is commonly used for fungal infections. For red rashes near the private parts, you should apply Onabet-B cream twice a day for a duration of 2 weeks. If the symptoms do not improve after 2 weeks, you can continue using it for an additional week for a total of 3 weeks.

Question 3

I've been using Getlite cream and now my skin's become really red and itchy. It's kinda worrying me. Any idea on how I can get it back to normal? What could be causing this reaction? Would love some advice on what to do next.

Accepted Answer

To alleviate redness and irritation caused by Getlite cream, immediately stop using the product and apply a soothing, fragrance-free moisturizer or a hydrocortisone cream to calm the skin; you can also try a cool compress or an aloe vera gel to reduce inflammation and promote healing, and if the irritation persists, consult a dermatologis

Question 4

I'm struggling with this jock itch around my groin and butt area. I've tried using antifungal ointment, but it hasnt made a difference. Some spots have even turned dark, and it's getting really uncomfortable. Do you think I might need to take tablets...

Accepted Answer

It sounds like your jock itch may be resistant to topical treatment alone. In this case, oral anti-fungal medications may be necessary to effectively treat the infection. I recommend taking **Fluconazole** 150mg once a week for 4 weeks. Additionally, continue using the anti-fungal ointment as directed for better results. Make sure to keep the affected area clean and dry to prevent further irritation.

It's possible to restore your skin tone, but it will take time and patience. Pigmentation changes can occur due to various reasons, like stopping a product or other factors. Focus on a gentle skincare routine with sunscreen, vitamin C serums, and exfoliation. If needed, consult a dermatologist for personalized treatment options like chemical peels or topical treatments. Stay consistent, and your skin can gradually improve.

Question 6

I'm recovering from COVID, and I've noticed that my fingers wrinkle up quickly, like when I wash my hands or have soups. They go back to normal after a while, but it's kind of strange. Is this something related to my recovery? How can I deal with it?...
