I've been dealing with really rough and dry skin on one of my fingers for the past two years. It almost looks like cracked drought land when I look closely. Sometimes it gets itchy too. What could be causing this, and what can I do about it?

You may be experiencing a condition called eczema. I recommend using a moisturizing cream containing 1% hydrocortisone to help with the dryness and itching. You can apply it to the affected area twice a day for up to 2 weeks. Additionally, you can use a gentle cleanser and avoid harsh soaps to prevent further irritation. If the symptoms persist, it is best to consult a dermatologist for further evaluation and management.

View allI'm dealing with some jock itch and picked up Lobate GM cream to help with it. I'm wondering if it's safe to use or should I stick with something like itch guard instead?
Lobate GM cream contains Clobetasol, Miconazole, and Neomycin. It is not typically recommended for jock itch as it contains a steroid which may worsen fungal infections. Itch guard cream, on the other hand, contains Clotrimazole which is effective against fungal infections like jock itch. I recommend using Itch guard cream for jock itch. Apply it twice daily for 2-4 weeks for best results.

I've just gotten over Covid last Sunday, but now I'm dealing with these really uncomfortable skin rashes on my neck, armpits, and under my breasts. I've tried using prickly heat powder and coconut oil, but things seem to be getting worse and now I've got these red patches under my breasts. Theyve become really sensitive too, and I'm getting pretty scared because I'm not sure what's happening. The rashes are painful and making me really uncomfortable. Could this be related to my recent illness, or is it something else? What should I do?

I'm really worried about this vitiligo I've had on my hands for the last 3 years. It's starting to spread to my face too. I've tried so many medications, but nothing seems to be helping. How can I stop it from spreading further?
