I've been dealing with this really annoying fungal infection around my groin and scrotum area. The itchiness is driving me nuts, and every time I scratch, it starts to burn even more. It's like a vicious cycle. I tried using some btex cream, but it didn't really help. Can you suggest what I should do to get some relief?

I've got an infection between the third and fourth toes on my left foot. It's been really dry and painful sometimes. I've been dealing with it for a couple of years now. I've tried oral meds from general physicians and even ointments like terbinafine, candiderma, and paxoderm. It's really annoying. Any suggestions on what I could do to finally get rid of it?

I've had this butt rash for around three months now, and I think it's been sticking around because of how it's been treated. The pharmacy gave me hydrocortisone cream and these fexofenadine hydrochloride pills to go with it. I'm putting the cream on just once a day and taking one pill daily too. The rash is bumpy and really itchy, plus it feels like the skin is getting kind of dry. What should I do?
Stopusing those medicines and visit Dermatologist for evaluation and appropriate management
