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'm curious about getting rid of some old blade cut marks I've had on my arm for almost 8 years now. What's the best way to treat them, and what kind of cost should I expect?
To remove old blade cut marks on your arm, you can consider undergoing laser therapy. Laser therapy can help reduce the appearance of scars by promoting collagen production and skin regeneration. One commonly used medication for this purpose is Mederma, which is a topical gel containing onion extract. It is recommended to apply Mederma on the scar twice daily for at least 3 months to see visible results. Additionally, silicone gel sheets like ScarAway can also be used to flatten and fade the scars. As for the cost, the price of laser therapy sessions can vary depending on the size and severity of the scars, as well as the number of sessions required.

I'm considering using Evion 400 capsules on my face every other day. I usually mix it with almond oil or aloe vera gel. Does this sound like a good routine? Is there anything I should be worried about?
Using Evion 400 (Vitamin E) on the face can be beneficial for skin health. However, it is important to note that applying it directly from the capsule may be too concentrated for some individuals and could potentially cause skin irritation. It is recommended to mix the contents of the capsule with almond oil or aloe vera gel before applying it to the face. This can help dilute the Vitamin E and make it safer for topical use. You can continue using it every alternate day, but if you experience any redness, itching, or irritation, please discontinue use.
