I've been dealing with this really annoying itchiness around my hip area that seems just like a fungal infection. It's been going on for about 2 to 3 years now. Could you recommend a cream that might help?

I woke up this morning with some bruises on my inner thighs, and it's kinda weird because I haven't been doing any intense physical stuff. They're not hurting when I touch them, though. I usually sit in a funny way at work, like with one foot under my leg, but I'm not sure if that could cause such dark purple bruising. What's going on here?

I'm really worried about some skin issues I've been facing. I tried using apple cider vinegar, tea tree oil, and multani mitti on a few spots on my face. I left it on for about 20 minutes and washed it off. But then, those areas turned frosted and by the next morning, they started to look brown. I made the mistake of trying to peel them off and now it feels like it's burning a lot, with pinkish skin showing underneath. I'm really concerned about scarring. I'm currently using hydrocortisone 1 cream and keeping the areas moisturized, but I'm not sure what else I should do. How long will it take for my skin to heal and return to normal? Any advice or precautions would be really appreciated.

Discontinue the use of harsh products. Moisturize and hydrate the skin using gentle products. Use hydrocortisone cream sparingly for inflammation, but do not overuse. Avoid picking, scratching, or peeling the skin. Protect the area from the sun and ensure proper healing. With proper care, the skin should heal within 1-2 weeks for mild burns, but more severe cases may take longer. Please continue to monitor the healing process, and if the situation does not improve or worsens, consider seeing a dermatologist.
