View allI've been experiencing some really irritating discomfort beneath my scrotum close to the anus, especially when I'm sweating. It feels itchy, and when I scratch, it sometimes gets worse and even starts weeping. I've noticed rashes popping up occasionally, and it creates this awful burning sensation that makes me really uncomfortable. I'm working in an office, and it's pretty embarrassing when I need to scratch under the table. What could be causing this, and how can I find some relief?

I've noticed a lump near my butt, and it really hurts when I touch it, and sometimes even when I don't. It's been there for a year, and now it feels like it's spreading from one lump to two. Should I be worried about this? What could it be?

I've been using Lomela cream for my acne and pigmentation because a friend recommended it to me. I'm curious about how long I'm supposed to keep using it after I see results. Do I need to continue applying it to maintain those results? If so, for how long should that be? I'm just trying to figure out the right approach.
Lomela cream contains hydroquinone, mometasone, and tretinoin which are used to treat hyperpigmentation and acne. It is usually recommended to use this cream for a limited period of time, typically around 4-8 weeks, to see visible results. Once you have achieved the desired results, you can gradually reduce the frequency of application. It is important to follow up with a healthcare provider or dermatologist to determine the appropriate duration of treatment based on your individual response and skin condition.
