I've got this really itchy, black, and flaky skin on my inner thighs. It gets super itchy and smelly, especially if I sit on a fiber chair for a long time. There's this weird smelly, sticky substance that starts coming out, and it's definitely not sweat. Things get worse if I skip a shower. I've tried all sorts of treatments for eczema, but nothing seems to work. My crotch is always really warm, but instead of sweating, there's this strange stuff. It's getting in the way of my social life because, even if the substance isn't there, the itch leaves a bad smell. What could this be, and how can I fix it?

It sounds like you may be dealing with a fungal infection in the groin area, also known as jock itch. I recommend using an antifungal cream such as Lotrimin Ultra or Lamisil AT. Apply the cream to the affected area twice a day for at least 2 weeks. Keep the area clean and dry, and avoid wearing tight clothing. If the symptoms persist or worsen, please follow up with a healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.

View allI'm really worried because both of my hands have turned black due to macular amyloidosis. I've been seeing a doctor for this, but none of the creams they prescribed have worked. Is there any other treatment option available, like laser, that might help?

I'm a 23-year-old woman dealing with really thin, dry hair and tons of split ends. My hairline has noticeably thinned, especially in the front, making my forehead look bigger. I really want to regrow some new hair. I've tried a bunch of things like Arish and Parampara hair oils, and even KeyaSeth, but nothing has worked. The thinning started around eight or nine years ago, probably because I was using way too much shampoo when I was younger. I used Amway shampoo every day back in 8th grade, and it really messed up my hair. I also tried onion juice and bhringraj oil, but that didn't help either. This summer has been especially bad with all the hair fall. Is there anything else I can do to fix this?

I've got this tiny bump, about the size of a pea or smaller, on the bridge of my nose. It's been there for less than a week, and it's a bit red. It doesn't really hurt unless I press on it, but I can see a little bit of white pus under the surface. It doesn't seem like it's going to pop anytime soon. Any idea what this could be? Should I be worried about it? I can send a picture if that helps.
