I've developed some rashes on my hips that resemble an infection and they're really itchy. I tried using itch guard but it didn't help. I'm quite concerned about it. Could you please advise me on what to do next?

Sounds like you may have a fungal infection. I recommend using an antifungal cream like Clotrimazole 1% cream. Apply a thin layer to the affected area twice a day for 2 weeks. Additionally, you can take an oral antihistamine like Cetirizine 10mg once daily to help with the itching. Make sure to keep the area clean and dry, and wear loose-fitting clothing. If the rash does not improve or worsens, please follow up with a healthcare provider.

I'm trying to figure out how to use onabet sd solution on my hair. Should I put it directly on my scalp or mix it with water first? And after applying it, how long should I wait before washing my hair? I'm a bit confused about the right steps and timing for this treatment.

I'm really worried about whether the Nevlon lotion I'm using might be clogging my pores. I have acne-prone skin, and the last thing I want is to make it worse. Could you suggest some good non-comedogenic moisturizers that would be safe for my skin type?

Yes, Nevlon lotion may clog pores due to its comedogenic ingredients; for acne-prone skin, consider non-comedogenic moisturizers like Cetaphil Moisturizing Cream, Neutrogena Hydro Boost Water Gel, or La Roche-Posay Toleriane Ultra Fluid, which are labeled "non-comedogenic" or "oil-free" to minimize pore clogging and acne risk.
