I've been having these white patches on my scrotal area, and they're itching quite a bit. A friend mentioned it could be a fungal thing, so I tried using some anti-fungal powder. The itching's getting a bit better each day, but the white patches aren't really shrinking. What do you think I should do next?

It sounds like you may be dealing with a fungal infection such as jock itch. In addition to using an antifungal powder, you can also try using an antifungal cream like Clotrimazole 1% cream. Apply it to the affected area twice a day for about 2-4 weeks. Make sure to keep the area clean and dry. If the white patches do not improve or if they worsen, it would be best to consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation and management.

View allI've been dealing with this constant itching on my balls and noticed there's a light cut on the outer skin of my penis at the top. I've tried a couple of antifungal creams, including itch guard, but nothing seems to work. It's starting to worry meis there something more I should be doing or getting checked out?
I recommend trying a combination antifungal cream containing Clotrimazole and Betamethasone. Apply a thin layer of this cream to the affected areas twice a day for up to 2 weeks. Additionally, keep the area clean and dry, wear loose-fitting underwear, and avoid scratching to prevent further irritation. If the symptoms persist or worsen, please follow up with a healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.

I've been having some serious lip problems recently. It started about a week ago with pain on my lips, and things have only gone downhill from there. Even though I've been staying hydrated, taking antihistamines, and using Vaseline religiously, my lips are now dry, constantly sore, and have a yellow crust on them. There's also been some itchiness inside my mouth, which I'm not sure if it's related to oral allergy syndrome or if it's something else brewing. This itchiness popped up even when I hadn't eaten anything recently, which makes me suspect it might be something else. I'm really concerned and looking for some guidance on what could be happening and what steps to take next. What do you think I should do?
indicate either an allergy, infection, or another form of dermatitis, it is essential to have a healthcare professional evaluate the situation. Depending on the diagnosis, the treatment may range from moisturizers to prescription creams or even oral medication.
