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?

I've been dealing with this skin allergy for the past 10 days, and it's really frustrating because it's spreading to my throat and neck. It's super itchy! I'm taking avil tablets and using clobate ointment, but it doesn't seem to be helping much. Is there anything else I can do to get relief from this itching, or a different treatment I should try? Should I be worried about how it's spreading?

I've noticed that my lips have been super dry lately, even though I've been taking riboflavin supplements and using seacod. I've also been applying Betnovate N ointment, but nothing seems to help. Should I be worried, or is there something else I should be doing to fix this?

stop ointment and just moisturise
