Question

I've got a pretty big boil on my left calf, and after a while, it started leaking pus and blood for around 15 days. It's been about 10 days since I began using antibiotics and ointment, as my dermatologist suggested, but it still isn't healing. I change the dressing with silver sulphadiazine gel every time. I'm really worried and wondering what might be going on. Any idea why it's not improving?

I'm working the night shift and dealing with some unbearable jock itch, the itching and pain are really getting to me. Could you recommend any medicine that might help? Also, I'm wondering about what foods I should eat or avoid. Is it okay to have dal, ghee, chicken, eggs, fish, or wheat during this time? Plus, is it safe to hit the gym with this condition? Would appreciate any advice you can offer!

Question

I've been dealing with some itching in my crotch area and inner thigh, and there's also a noticeable smell. I think it might be because I work out but only shower about twice a week. I just picked up Candid TV suspension and itch guard from the chemist. I'm wondering if using these will fix the issue or if there's more I should be doing. Also, is it okay to use soap in the groin area, or should I avoid it?
