I've been dealing with this persistent itching near my bikini area for about a month now, and its gradually spreading. My skin is really dry and it's peeling, almost like it's broken. I went to a doctor who prescribed a cream called TEXIFEN, but I haven't seen any improvement. What could be causing this, and should I try a different treatment?

In addition to the cream you have been using, I recommend adding an antifungal medication like Clotrimazole cream, You can also take an oral antifungal medication like Fluconazole to treat the infection from the inside. Make sure to keep the area clean and dry, wear loose-fitting cotton underwear, and avoid tight clothing to help with the healing process.

I've been dealing with pimples for the last four years, and they always seem to leave these persistent marks on my cheeks and nose. It's getting really frustrating, and I'm desperate for a solution to get rid of these marks for good. Can you suggest a permanent remedy that could help me clear up my face?

For permanent removal of pimple marks, consider consulting a dermatologist for professional treatments like chemical peels, microdermabrasion, or laser skin resurfacing, and in the meantime, try home remedies like applying aloe vera gel, turmeric paste, or tea tree oil to the affected areas, and maintain a consistent skincare routine, including exfoliating, using sunscreen, and products containing salicylic acid or niacinamide to help reduce acne and prevent scarring.
