I've been having this issue where every time I shave down there, I end up with these strange red bumps. I'm really clueless about what might be causing this and how I can prevent it. Could you give me some advice or suggestions on what I should do?

The red lumps may be a sign of contact dermatitis. This generally refers to an allergic inflammatory reaction on the skin seen due to contact with the metal of the shaving razor. You may want to switch to a ceramic blade, which is considerably less irritating to the skin. Also consider using soothing aftershaves, lotions or anti-inflammatory creams.

I'm dealing with an ongoing itch and redness around my ball sack area and between my thighs. It's been bugging me for two months, and I think it might be a fungal infection. I'm really concerned as it seems to be getting worse. Could this be something serious? Any advice would be great.
You may be suffering from tinea cruris which is fungal infection of the inner thighs and buttocks area. It can be treated by taking four to six weeks of anti fungal treatment which includes tablets along with creams. Do not use soap over that area. Mistreatment with over the counter Steroid containing creams like panderm, quadriderm, dermi 5, candid b etc lead to repeated case of recurrence and also side effects due to application. Do not use steroid containing combination creams.

I've been dealing with these recurring pus-filled boils on my thighs and upper leg area. There's always this redness and swelling around them, and they keep coming back. It's getting really frustrating and I just want to know what's causing them and how I can prevent them. Any advice?
Recurring pus filled boils on the thighs and upper leg area with redness and swelling indicate a skin infection. This may be due to a bacteria called Staphylococcus aureus. To treat this condition, you can use an antibiotic ointment containing Mupirocin applied to the affected area three times a day. In addition, an oral antibiotic like Cephalexin 500mg four times a day for 7-10 days can also be prescribed to help clear the infection. Make sure to keep the area clean and dry, and avoid tight clothing to prevent further irritation.
