I've been dealing with this really uncomfortable itch near my bikini line for almost a month now, and I'm super shy about seeing a doctor about it. The area has gotten pretty red, and it just won't stop itching. I looked it up, and it seems to be jock itch. Can anyone recommend a good cream or medicine I can try?

Based on your description, it sounds like you may be experiencing jock itch, which is a fungal infection that causes redness and itching in the groin area. You can try using an over-the-counter antifungal cream such as Lotrimin Ultra or Lamisil AT. Apply the cream to the affected area twice a day for 2-4 weeks, or as directed on the package insert. Additionally, keeping the area clean and dry, wearing loose-fitting clothing, and avoiding sharing personal items can help prevent the spread of the infection.

View allI've got these dark patches on my face and started using Dermadew Aloe lotion. Should I be applying it all over my face or just on the dark patches? I'm a bit confused about the best way to use it and could use some advice.
You can apply Dermadew Caloe lotion on the affected areas of your face where you have dark patches. Use a small amount of lotion and gently massage it into the skin until it is absorbed. Apply it twice daily for best results.

I'm experiencing some really annoying itching in my scrotum, especially at night. And when I'm walking or moving around, it really bothers me in the groin area. It's just starting, so I can usually control the urge to scratch, but it gets tough sometimes. Do you have any idea what might be causing this or what I can do about it?
Candid cream for local application is advised for 3 weeks, along with tab flucanozole 150 mg once a week for 2 weeks is advised to the patient.

I've noticed these pearly penile papules on my penis for about two months now and I'm really concerned. Whats the best treatment for this?
They are a normal anatomical variation and not a disease or sexually transmitted infection (STI). PPP is harmless, does not require treatment, and does not cause any long-term health issues. However, if they bother you cosmetically or cause psychological distress, there are treatment options available.
