I've been having some problems with my skin around the testis and thighs; it's really itchy and there's a lot of redness. It feels like there's a lot of heat coming from that area, and I've noticed some fungus too. I've been trying propygenta NF and using dreamsoap, but it just doesnt seem to help. Any suggestions on what I could do?

It sounds like you may be experiencing a fungal infection in the groin area. I recommend using a combination of Clotrimazole cream and Terbinafine cream twice daily for 2 weeks. Additionally, you can take Tablet Fluconazole 150mg once a week for 4 weeks to treat the infection effectively. Make sure to keep the area clean and dry, wear loose-fitting clothes, and avoid sharing towels or clothing to prevent further spread of the infection.

View allI'm really concerned about the tip of my nose being red-pink and a bit swollen. There's no itching, but it's definitely painful when I touch it. It also looks like tiny pimples are forming on the swollen part. Should I be worried about this, or is it something that'll just clear up on its own?
The symptoms you are describing sound like you may have a localized skin infection on the tip of your nose. This could be due to a bacterial infection or inflammation of the hair follicles. To help treat this, you can apply an over-the-counter antibiotic ointment like Neosporin on the affected area twice a day. Additionally, you can take an over-the-counter pain reliever like ibuprofen to help with the pain and swelling. If the symptoms do not improve within a few days or if they worsen, it would be best to consult a doctor for further evaluation and possible prescription of oral antibiotics.

I'm dealing with a bacterial skin infection right on the side of my neck and I've been using Betnovate N cream twice daily for about five days now. Since it contains steroids, I'm just a bit concerned if it's safe to keep using. Also, is there a safer alternative cream that might help reduce the redness? Would love some guidance on this.
If youve used Betnovate N for a few days and your infection is improving, thats good. However, if you want to avoid steroids in the long run, you can switch to an antibiotic-only cream, like Fusidic acid or Mupirocin, or consider mild alternatives like hydrocortisone or calamine lotion. Its always a good idea to consult your doctor or dermatologist for the best treatment plan,

I've been using Betnovate regularly for around 10 years and recently stopped. Now my face is really irritated with redness and itching. I'm not sure what lotion or cream I should try to calm it down and keep my skin healthy. Any recommendations?
calasoft is advised to the patient.
