I've been using hair removal cream and now I'm dealing with some irritation and itching around my vagina. I think it might be a side effect from the cream. Has anyone else experienced this? Since then, I've switched to waxing. What can I do to soothe the itching, and is waxing a safer option for sensitive skin in that area? Would love some advice!

I've been dealing with this pitti problem for the past 4 months and nothing seems to work despite trying a lot of medicines. I'm really not sure what to do next. Could you suggest any other options or let me know how I might be able to meet with you?

I've been dealing with this persistent itching on my inner thigh near the scrotum and it's really bothering me. I took the capsule Canditral for about 20 days and used the dermikem OC tube, which seemed to help. But after I stopped using them, the itching and those red, itchy spots came back after just 10 days. Do you think this could be Jock itch? What medication would you recommend for something like this?

Your symptoms suggest a fungal infection like Jock itch (tinea cruris); consider consulting a dermatologist for a definitive diagnosis

I've been dealing with pimples and blackheads on my face for the past couple of months and started using Deriva-Bro gel for three days now. But I'm not sure how long I should be applying this gel. Can you guide me on the right usage or any other tips?

-Hi Gulam Sarwar, you can use Deriva-BPO gel once daily, usually at night, for 4-6 weeks to see improvements. If you experience irritation, reduce usage to every other day and consult your doctor for further guidance.
