I've been using Lomela cream for my acne and pigmentation because a friend recommended it to me. I'm curious about how long I'm supposed to keep using it after I see results. Do I need to continue applying it to maintain those results? If so, for how long should that be? I'm just trying to figure out the right approach.

Lomela cream contains hydroquinone, mometasone, and tretinoin which are used to treat hyperpigmentation and acne. It is usually recommended to use this cream for a limited period of time, typically around 4-8 weeks, to see visible results. Once you have achieved the desired results, you can gradually reduce the frequency of application. It is important to follow up with a healthcare provider or dermatologist to determine the appropriate duration of treatment based on your individual response and skin condition.

I've been dealing with this really uncomfortable situation after a bout of scabies a few months ago, mostly around the genital area. Even though the scabies is gone, I developed 20 bumps on my testicles that are super itchy. Now, I can't seem to stop scratching them because it brings on this intense orgasmic feeling, leading me to masturbate more. It's become quite a habit, and I'm worried because the itching is getting worse. In fact, I scratched so hard that I started to bleed a bit, but even after healing, I can't resist scratching again. What should I do to stop this cycle and get rid of the intense itching?

I'm really worried because I've been dealing with rashes on my thighs and scrotum for a month now, and more recently there's this intense burning sensation on my scrotum. What could be causing this, and how can I get some relief?

You can use an antifungal cream such as Clotrimazole 1% cream. Apply a thin layer of the cream to the affected areas twice a day for 2-4 weeks. Additionally, keeping the area clean and dry, wearing loose-fitting clothing, and avoiding scratching the area can help with healing.
