I've got these itchy rashes on my face from a reaction to a cream I used, and even though I stopped using it, the rash keeps coming back. My doctor had me try betamethasone cream, and it helps while I'm using it, but as soon as I stop, the rash returns. What do you think is causing this, and is there anything else I can do to stop it from coming back for good?

I'm dealing with some sores on my penis and scrotum that started about a week ago, and there's a lot of itchiness too. Can you help me figure out what's going on?

You may be experiencing symptoms of a fungal infection. I recommend using an antifungal cream such as Clotrimazole (brand name Lotrimin) twice a day on the affected areas. Additionally, you can take an oral antifungal medication such as Fluconazole (brand name Diflucan) 150mg as a single dose. Make sure to keep the area clean and dry to help with healing.
