I've been using patches to quit smoking, and now it's been about a month. But my hands and feet are really dry and cracking, almost peeling to the quick. What can I do about this? Should I be worried?

I'm dealing with a skin infection in my groin area and it's been going on for 20 to 25 days now. The skin on my inner thigh, right below the scrotum, has a foul smell and there's a blackish discoloration around it. Plus, I notice this thin, white, milky layer over the infected spot. Whenever I wear tight clothes, I get a burning feeling on a small part of the skin when I walk. I've been using clotrimazole, but it's not really helping. Could you give me some advice on what else I can do?

Can you help me with these stretch marks? I've been hitting the gym for about 2 years now, and I've started noticing red stretch marks appearing. I've attached some pics for you to see. How can I get rid of them, and what can I do to prevent them from coming back in the future?
To reduce the redness and visibility of your stretch marks, you can try using a topical cream containing ingredients like retinol, hyaluronic acid, or vitamin C. One option is to use a cream like Mederma Stretch Marks Therapy, applying it to the affected areas twice a day. In addition to topical treatments, maintaining a healthy diet rich in vitamins and minerals, staying hydrated, and moisturizing your skin regularly can also help improve the appearance of stretch marks. It's important to keep your skin well-hydrated to promote healing and elasticity. To prevent future stretch marks, you can also consider incorporating foods rich in collagen and antioxidants into your diet, such as fruits, vegetables, and lean proteins. Staying hydrated and maintaining a consistent exercise routine can also help keep your skin healthy and less prone to developing stretch marks. Remember, results may vary for each individual, and it's important to be patient as it can take time to see improvements in the appearance of your stretch marks.
