I've had this jock itch issue for quite some time now. I got some fungal cream from my doctor which helped for a while, but it just keeps coming back. Lately, with all the work I've been doing, it's gotten worse and now it's on my buttocks too. Today, I found a painful bump in my groin area about the size of a nickel, and pus started coming out. I looked it up and it seems like it's a boil. I'm really worried and just want to get rid of the jock itch and this boil. What should I do?

I'm taking Keraboost tablets every morning. Is it okay if I start taking two tablets instead of one?

no one tablet in a day is enough ,if you consume morethan one it comes with complications like constipation,abdominal discomfort etc., consume balanced diet with extra protien which helps for growth of healthy hair.
