I've had this white mark on my skin where I used to place a bindi, and it's been there for about a year. I stopped using the bindi because I thought the glue might be causing it, and switched to sindoor, but that didn't help either. The white spot has grown and now it itches, so I can't even use sindoor or tika on it. I'm 60 years old and I'm worried about what this could be. Could you please advise?

That could be due to allergy,visit dermatologist for appropriate management because that might need nourishing moisturiser and steroid based lotion

View allI'm noticing these round-shaped rashes popping up in different spots on my skin. They kinda look like a fungal infection. Sometimes they itch a little, but they aren't super red. I've been using Micozel on them. What else should I be doing or looking out for?
If it is indeed a fungal infection, antifungal creams like Micozel should help clear it up over time. However, if you don't see improvement within a couple of weeks, or if you suspect the issue could be something else, its a good idea to visit a healthcare professional for an accurate diagnosis.

I'm a 25-year-old guy and I've been dealing with some intense itching around my private area for the past few months. It's gotten so bad that the skin has turned black. I've tried using things like Nicil powder, but nothing seems to help stop the itch. What could be going on, and how can I get some relief?

I'm really unsure about whether I should shave my groin area or not. Could you offer some useful tips on how to do it properly if I decide to go ahead? I'm also worried about whether shaving down there might cause any infections. Just feeling a bit confused and need some advice.
Shaving the groin area is a personal preference, but if you choose to do so, useful tips include: trimming before shaving, using a clean razor and shaving cream, shaving in the direction of hair growth, avoiding shaving over the same spot multiple times, and moisturizing after shaving; however, shaving can increase the risk of ingrown hairs, razor burn, and infections like folliculitis or cellulitis, especially if proper hygiene and technique are not followed.
