I've been dealing with a really itchy scrotum for the past few weeks, and it's driving me crazy. It seems to get worse after I touch it or whenever I sweat, like after sports or working out. I'm not sure if they're connected, but I've noticed the itchiness spreads to my legs, back thighs, and buttocks. Oddly enough, my chest never seems to itch. When I do scratch, the skin gets these raised bumps, but they fade after some time. The scrotum area experiences this too. It's gotten so bad that I've scratched it until it started to sting in the shower. What could be causing this, and how can I stop it?

If the problem persists despite home remedies or worsens, it would be best to consult a healthcare professional or a dermatologist. They may need to perform a skin examination, potentially test for fungal infections or other skin conditions, and provide a more targeted treatment plan. A prescription antifungal or topical steroid treatment might be needed if it's related to a fungal infection or dermatitis.

View allI've got this sudden blister on my waistline that showed up this afternoon, but there's no rash that I can see. I usually sweat a lot. Yesterday I was out in the sun for over eight hours. I'm curious about what's causing this blister. Could it be related to the sun exposure or maybe something else?
That could be folliculitis or pemphigous,visit dermatologist as soon as possible for evaluation and appropriate management.

I'm really concerned about whether Candid cream is steroidal or not. Is it safe to use this for treating candidiasis? I want to make sure I'm not using something that's too strong or might cause side effects. Would love some guidance on this!
Candid cream contains Clotrimazole, which is an antifungal medication used to treat fungal infections like candidiasis. It is not a steroid cream. You can apply Candid cream topically to the affected area 2-3 times a day for effective treatment of candidiasis.

I've got really thin facial hair, and it's not growing in the way I'd like. Do you have any advice on how I can get a fuller, thicker beard? Also, what's your take on using laser treatment for this issue?
To promote fuller and thicker beard growth, you can try using minoxidil solution 5% applied topically on the face once daily. Additionally, taking biotin supplements can also help improve hair growth. Make sure to maintain a healthy diet rich in vitamins and minerals essential for hair growth. As for laser treatment for beard growth, it is not a commonly recommended option. Laser treatments are more commonly used for hair removal rather than hair growth. It's best to stick with topical treatments and supplements for promoting beard growth.
