I've been struggling with jock itch for a couple of years now, and it's been getting worse. The affected area keeps growing and now it's all over my butt. I've tried using antifungal soap and cream, but it never seems to go away for good. It just keeps coming back. What can I do to completely get rid of this? What's the best treatment to finally cure it?

Jock itch, also known as tinea cruris, is a fungal infection that affects the skin in the groin area. For persistent cases like yours, oral antifungal medications may be necessary for complete eradication. I recommend taking Fluconazole 150mg once a week for 4 weeks along with applying Clotrimazole cream twice daily to the affected areas. Additionally, keeping the affected area clean and dry, wearing loose-fitting clothing, and avoiding sharing personal items can help prevent recurrence.

View allI've been having this really uncomfortable problem with severe itching all over my body, and whenever I scratch, these lines show up on my skin. It seems like the only thing that helps is taking cetirizine. It usually stops the itching for about a week, but then it all starts again. I'm not sure what's going on. Could this be something serious or is there a way to treat it so it doesn't keep coming back?

I've noticed this mole pop up on my palm out of nowhere since last year. It's unlike the usual kind; it's shapeless and just doesn't look like other moles Ive had. Could you take a look at the picture I attached? Im really curious if this is something I should be worried about or if it's nothing major. Appreciate any advice you might have!
