I'm a 22-year-old and I've noticed stretch marks all over my stomach. They're even extending down to my mons pubis area. When I touch them, they feel kind of hollow. I'm really worried they might get worse. Is having stretch marks in that area something to be concerned about?
Stretch marks on the mons pubis and outer vagina area are common and are usually not a threat to your health. To help reduce the appearance of stretch marks and prevent further increase, you can try using a topical cream containing Tretinoin. Apply a thin layer of Tretinoin cream on the affected areas once daily. Additionally, you can also use a moisturizer containing Hyaluronic Acid to keep the skin hydrated and improve its elasticity. Remember to consult with a dermatologist for a proper evaluation and treatment plan.

I'm dealing with this stubborn fungal-like infection on my buttocks for a couple of months now. I've been using an ointment to try and get rid of it, but it's just not going away. It hasn't spread, which is a relief, but it's still there like it just won't budge. What could be the reason it's not healing? Is there something else I should be doing or using to finally get rid of it?
