I've been dealing with this persistent fungal skin problem for the last couple of months. It's mainly around my lower abdomen, and the itching just doesn't stop. I'm starting to get really worried about what might be causing this and how to make it go away. What could it be, and what should I do next?

That could be fungal infection which needs both oral and topical antifungal medications and personal hygiene is more important for such condition.

I've noticed some white patchesfirst on my chin and then by the side of my headand now those areas have stopped growing hair. It seems a bit like a fungal infection, especially since I had similar white spots around my neck last year. Can you recommend a cream or shampoo that might help? I'm starting to get a bit concerned.

It sounds like you may be experiencing a fungal infection causing white patches and hair loss. I recommend using an antifungal cream like Clotrimazole cream twice a day on the affected areas. In addition, you can use a ketoconazole shampoo like Nizoral twice a week to help treat the fungal infection on the scalp. Make sure to follow the instructions on the packaging for both products.
