Question

I've dealt with Jock Itch before and my doctor advised using betnovate cream, which really helped clear it up quickly. But I kept applying it for over a month when it turns out I should've only used it for about 5 to 10 days. Now Im noticing that the skin near my thighs has thinned out and there are these black patches showing up. What should I do about this situation?

Question

I'm really concerned about using skin creams and I recently used Skinlite cream. I'm thinking about trying Melaglow next, but I'm worried if it's safe for my skin after using Skinlite. If it's not, can you recommend a cream that's safe for skin whitening? Would really appreciate your help!

Question

I'm really worried about this skin rash I've had for 3 years. It always seems to flare up after I chew tobacco. The rash just doesn't go away easily, and I have to take half a Cetrizine pill to get some relief. I'm really concerned if this could be related to HIV. Can you help?

Question

I've been struggling with really bad acne on my face, shoulders, and back for nearly a decade now. A doctor recently told me to take Azithromycin 250 tablets and use BETNOVATEN with Betamethasone and Neomycin, but I haven't noticed any changes. Could you please suggest what I should do next or if there's anything else I should try?
