I've been using Getlite cream with hydroquinone and mometasone for the last two years. Now my skin's gone really white, but when I try to stop using the cream, my skin gets darker, even worse than before. Im worried its not good to keep using it long-term because of potential problems. I'm really hoping to stop using this cream. How can I wean off of it and keep my skin looking healthy without going back to how it was? A neighbor, who's a pharmacist, recommended it, but I'm not sure what to do. Any advice on maintaining my skins glow once I stop this cream?

I've been dealing with jock itch in my inner thigh and groin area for over three years now, but I've never actually gone to a doctor because it didn't seem like a big deal. It mostly itches at night, and the intensity variessome days it's better, and then it gets worse again. I've tried applying Candid Dusting Powder and Sebefin cream, which helped my brother when he had this issue, but it didn't work for me. I also tried Suthol and Itch Guard, but no luck there either. The skin's become dark, and these little pimples keep popping up that take forever to go away. It's not spreading much, and maybe that's why I haven't seen a doctor yet. But now I really want to get rid of it. Any idea on what I should do?

I've been dealing with this jock itch for a couple of months now and it's driving me crazy. I've tried using Cloben G cream, and it seems to help while I'm using it, but as soon as I stop, the itch comes back. It's really uncomfortable and mostly around my inner thighs and buttocks. The skin is darker with a red, bumpy border, and lighter brown inside. I'm looking for a permanent fix. What can I do?
This could be fungal infection u need to evaluate with your Dermatologist and get appropriate treatment with oral antifungal medications and topical lotions,once the infection is resolved your hair fall would come down,I suggest you not to use minoxidil with active fungal infection,above this your personal hygiene care is more important.
