I've been noticing a black line across my cuticle on my thumb, and it's been worrying me a bit. The skin behind it seems slightly inflamed, but the line doesn't go the entire length of the cuticlejust about halfway across the more horizontal part. It's really thin, less than a millimeter. Should I be concerned about this? Does it sound like something I need to get checked out?

I've been dealing with a rash in my private areas and tried using Dermi 5 cream, but it hasn't helped. In fact, the rash is spreading across my buttock. I'm really worried now. What else can I do to get rid of it, and should I be concerned about it getting worse?

I've been dealing with an issue on my face and underarms for about a year now. I've tried using luliconazole and ketoconazole ointments, and even took oral tablets like onecan and itraconazole, but nothing seems to fully solve the problem. The ketoconazole ointment seems to control it for a bit, but then it just comes back. Can you please help me figure out what's going on?

That could be fungal infection which needs both oral and topical antifungal medications and personal hygiene is more important for such condition.
