I've been dealing with this jock itch kind of skin infection between my thighs for months. It's spreading pretty fast, and I'm really worried. I've been using miconazole clobetasol propionate ointment, and while it seems okay, it's not really curing it. Living in a hostel makes this tough, and I just can't focus on my studies because of it. Can you recommend something better?

View allI've developed this dark and rough skin on the sides of my nose, and while it doesn't itch much, it's been bothering me for about 3-4 months now. I scratched it once out of irritation, and that only made it worse. Though it's reduced a bit since then, I'm still not seeing much improvement. I tried using lemon juice, but it burned, so I've switched to aloe gel, but it doesn't seem to be helping either. Any idea what might be causing this and what I could do to make it better?
Consider consulting a dermatologist for personalized guidance, and in the meantime, try using a gentle exfoliating scrub, a topical cream containing niacinamide or kojic acid, and a broad-spectrum sunscreen to help improve the dark, rough skin on the sides of your nose.

I've had these black spots around my stomach for quite some time, probably around 23 months now. Initially, I thought they'd just fade away if I ignored them, but they're still there. There are about 8 of them, and they didn't start as pimples or anythingthey just appeared as black spots. Should I be worried about this or is there something that can help get rid of them?
Possible Causes 1. Melasma: Hormonal changes or sun exposure can cause melanin deposits, leading to black spots. 2. Hyper-pigmentation: Inflammation or skin injuries can cause an increase in melanin production, resulting in dark spots. 3. Skin tags: Small, benign growths can appear as black spots. 4. Seborrheic keratoses: Benign growths that can appear as black spots, especially in areas with high sun exposure. 5. Dermatosis papulosa nigra: A benign condition characterized by dark, raised spots. What to Do 1. Consult a dermatologist: Get a professional diagnosis to determine the cause of the black spots. 2. Skin examination: A dermatologist will examine your skin to determine the underlying cause. 3. Treatment options: Depending on the diagnosis, treatment options may include topical creams, laser therapy, or removal of skin tags or growths. Self-Care 1. Protect your skin from the sun: Use sunscreen with at least SPF 30 to prevent further darkening of the spots. 2. Maintain good skin hygiene: Keep the area clean and dry to prevent infection.
