I've noticed this lump on my butt cheek and I'm really wondering if it might be a boil or maybe something else entirely. What could this be? It's got me a bit worried and I'd love some insight on what's going on.

View allI'm really worried because I've been dealing with itching in my testicles for the last two weeks, and it's just getting worse. I've been taking some medication for three days now, but it doesn't seem to be helping much. What should I do next?
You may be experiencing a fungal infection. I recommend using an antifungal cream such as Clotrimazole 1% cream. Apply a thin layer to the affected area twice a day for at least 2 weeks. Additionally, you can take an oral antifungal medication like Fluconazole 150mg once a week for 4 weeks. Make sure to keep the area clean and dry, and wear loose-fitting underwear to help with the itching.

I'm really struggling with hair removal in my private areas like the inner thighs and around the testicles and anus. Every time I try, it just ends up irritating the skin and I get these pesky fungal infections because of it. It's really uncomfortable and frustrating. Can you suggest any better solutions or tips that might help with this?
For hair removal in sensitive areas, opt for gentle methods like trimming with electric clippers or using hair removal creams designed specifically for sensitive skin (patch-test first). Avoid shaving to minimize irritation and fungal infections. Keep the area clean, dry, and apply an antifungal powder if prone to infections. Consult a dermatologist for persistent issues.

I've got these old keloid and hypertrophic scars and I'm wondering if using Contractubex and a silicone gel sheet will help flatten them out now. Do you think these treatments could work at this stage?
Contractubex gel and silicon gel sheets can help improve the appearance of old keloid and hypertrophic scars. Apply Contractubex gel thinly on the affected area 2-3 times a day and gently massage it in. For silicon gel sheets, cut the sheet to fit the scar, apply it to clean dry skin for at least 12 hours a day. Consistent use over a period of several months may help flatten and soften the scars.
