I've been getting this weird mark that looks like a hickey on my neck. It's shown up three times in the exact same spot since last fall. The thing is, I know it's definitely not a hickey, and it doesn't itch or hurt. I'm pretty nervous because I haven't done anything that might cause it. I'm 39 and in decent health, and even using hydrocortisone cream hasn't helped. It's hard to see a doctor because by the time I get an appointment, it disappears. It just pops up out of nowhere. What do you think might be going on?

View allI've been dealing with some intense itching in my buttcrack for the last few days, and it's becoming pretty uncomfortable. It feels like I've scratched so much that there's almost a crack forming because of it. This has happened to me before, and I've found that using oil helps to soothe the itch. It's working a bit this time too, but the relief isn't lasting because if I scratch again, it just comes back. Any idea why this keeps happening and what else I can try to get rid of it?
You may be experiencing a case of fungal infection such as jock itch. I recommend using an antifungal cream like Clotrimazole 1% cream. Apply a thin layer of the cream to the affected area twice a day for 2-4 weeks. Additionally, keeping the area clean and dry, wearing loose cotton underwear, and avoiding tight clothing can help prevent further irritation. If the symptoms persist or worsen, please consult a doctor for further evaluation and management.

I'm really concerned about this skin issue I've been having. I've been getting these black spots all over my body for the past two years, and it's getting worse, especially on my hands. My ears are also turning black and my skin is getting darker overall. Do you have any idea what this could be or how I can treat it?
