I've got a bit of a problem with eczema on my scrotum and my dermatologist told me to use Mometasone Furoate Cream IP ELOCON every night. But when I looked it up, I read that it shouldn't be used on the groin area. It hurt a little at first but seemed to get better after that. I'm just really concerned and wondering if it's okay to keep using this cream. Could it affect sperm production since Im applying it directly on the scrotum? I'm pretty worried about this.

I've been prescribed Thyronorm 25mcg and I take it in the morning, but my doctor also suggested Doxycycline Lactic Acid Bacillus capsules for my acne at night. I'm a bit worried about taking both medications is it safe to mix them like that?

taking Thyronorm 25mcg (levothyroxine) in the morning and Doxycycline (antibiotic) and Lactic Acid Bacillus (probiotic) capsules at night is safe, as they work on different systems and have different mechanisms of action;
