I've been experiencing some mild itching on my scrotum, but it seems to get worse at night. I'm not sure what's causing it, and it's starting to really bother me. Can you help me figure out what might be going on and what I can do to fix it?

Mild itching on the scrotum, especially at night, can be caused by fungal infections like jock itch, irritation from sweat, or allergic reactions. I recommend keeping the area clean and dry, using antifungal creams like clotrimazole if it's fungal, and avoiding tight clothing. If the itching persists or worsens, please consult a doctor for further evaluation.

I'm using clear gel on my face and usually leave it on for about an hour. Does that sound effective, or should I be leaving it on for longer to see better results?

Keeping a clear gel on your face for an hour can be effective, but for optimal results, it is recommended to keep it on for at least 2-3 hours. This allows the active ingredients in the gel to penetrate the skin and work effectively. Make sure to follow the instructions on the product label for the best results.

I'm dealing with Grade 1 acne around my chin, jawline, and cheeks. I'm using Clindac A1 gel in the morning for a couple of hours and Deriva Cms Gel at night, also for a few hours before washing it off. The doctor also put me on Doxy 1 ldr forte, 100 mg, twice a day for 10 days. I'm really hoping to get rid of this acne completely. Could you tell me how long it might take, and if there's a chance this will leave any scars?

My fianc's been dealing with this red, kinda dry, super itchy scrotum, especially where his leg creases and on the scrotum itself. It's not something we can just ignore because its pretty annoying for him. Do you have any idea what could be going on or how we might help him feel better? Is there anything specific we should try or avoid?

I recommend using an antifungal cream like Lotrimin Ultra twice a day on the affected areas for 2-4 weeks. Additionally, keeping the area clean and dry, wearing loose-fitting underwear, and avoiding scratching will help with the healing process.
