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 allHow long does it usually take for vitiligo to spread? I've had these spots on my neck, leg, and hand for about four years now, and they haven't really changed in size. Should I be worried about them getting bigger or appearing in new places?
The spread of vitiligo varies from person to person. In some cases, the patches may remain stable in size and number for years, while in other cases, they may spread rapidly. Since you have had the spots for 4 years with the same size, it is possible that the condition may remain stable for you. To help prevent further spread of vitiligo, you can consider using topical corticosteroids like Clobetasol propionate cream on the affected areas. Apply a thin layer of the cream twice daily for a few months to see improvement. Additionally, phototherapy with narrowband UVB light can also be beneficial in managing vitiligo. Remember to protect your skin from sun exposure as it can worsen the condition. Use a broad-spectrum sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher on the affected areas when going outside.

I'm having a lot of headaches, and there are these tiny acne-like bumps on my head that hurt a lot, especially at the back. Every time I touch them, they're really painful. I'm just not sure what's going on. Any idea what this could be?
there is no relation between headache and acne only if its herpes ,your complaints seem like regular acne and migraine, visit your doctor for appropriate treatment .

I've been dealing with this ring guard issue on the side of my vagina since October. It's super itchy, and even though I went to a skin doctor and got some medicine, it hasn't cleared up. I'm really worried and looking for some advice on what I should do next or how I can get rid of it. Any suggestions on treatment options that might work better?
Sounds like you may be dealing with a fungal infection. To treat this, you can use an antifungal cream like Clotrimazole. Apply the cream to the affected area twice a day for about 2 weeks. Additionally, you can take an oral antifungal medication like Fluconazole 150mg once a week for 4 weeks to help clear the infection from within. Make sure to keep the area clean and dry, wear loose cotton underwear, and avoid tight clothing to help with the itching and prevent further irritation.
