Question

I've been really struggling with some major itching under my arms for the past month. It's so bad that I can't stop scratching. I've been trying abzorb powder to help, but it keeps coming back. What can I do to get some relief?

Question

I'm noticing some white patches on my fingers and I've had them for a couple of months now. They don't seem to be spreading, which is a bit of a relief, but its still worrying me. After visiting a doctor, he told me it's vitiligo, but I'm not completely convinced. He prescribed some medications like Viterma capsules, Dermadew cream, Tacmod forte, Melanocyl ointment, Placentrex gel, and HHSONE cream. I've attached a few pictures for reference. Does this sound like vitiligo to you, and do you think these meds can actually help with it?

Question

I'm dealing with some serious itching between my thighs and I'm pretty sure it's jock itch. It's really uncomfortable and I just want it gone for good. Could you recommend the best antifungal cream for this? Also, how can I make sure it never comes back once I treat it?

Question

I've been noticing these dark brown spots on my thighs and legs. They don't itch, but I'm worried because they seem to be spreading. My mom thinks it could be from heat. I've also got a couple of spots on my stomach that start off red before turning brownish. Could this be something serious? What could be causing this, and should I be concerned?
