I've been dealing with this persistent itching on my inner thigh near the scrotum and it's really bothering me. I took the capsule Canditral for about 20 days and used the dermikem OC tube, which seemed to help. But after I stopped using them, the itching and those red, itchy spots came back after just 10 days. Do you think this could be Jock itch? What medication would you recommend for something like this?

View allI've been dealing with these persistent pimples that start small but get pretty big and filled with pus over about 12 days. The skin underneath gets hard and it really hurts. When I try to squeeze them, a bit of pus and blood comes out. After about a week, they leave behind a black spot but then new ones keep coming up right after the old ones disappear. I'm just trying to figure out what's going on with my skin. Any idea what this could be?
Based on your description, it sounds like you are experiencing recurrent episodes of acne. To help treat this, you can use a topical treatment containing Benzoyl Peroxide or Salicylic Acid to help reduce inflammation and prevent new breakouts. You can try using a brand like "Differin Gel" or "Neutrogena Rapid Clear Stubborn Acne Spot Treatment" on the affected areas once daily. Additionally, maintaining a good skincare routine and avoiding picking or squeezing the pimples can also help prevent further breakouts.

I'm really getting worried because I have these corns on my left leg that just aren't healing, even after more than a month. Can you suggest any medicine that might help?
For corns, you can try using Salicylic Acid topical solution. Apply it directly on the corns once daily for about a week. You can also use a corn plaster containing Salicylic Acid for better results. Make sure to follow the instructions on the packaging for proper usage.

I've been dealing with this rash near my groin area for a while now. At first, I thought it was just a shaving rash, but it's spreading. They begin as small circles and then grow into larger clusters. The rash is flat, not itchy, and has a reddish-brown color. Should I be worried about this? What could it possibly be?
It sounds like you may be experiencing a fungal infection, such as ringworm. I recommend using an antifungal cream like Lotrimin Ultra (clotrimazole) twice a day on the affected area for 2-4 weeks. Make sure to keep the area clean and dry, and wear loose-fitting clothing to help the healing process. If the rash does not improve or worsens, please follow up with a healthcare provider for further evaluation.
