I've noticed my forehead is swollen just above my right eye. It's not itchy or painful and measures about 1 inch wide by 1.5 inches in height. A couple of nights ago, my head was really itchy, and I had big, itchy bumps all over my shoulders. I'm not sure if that's connected, but what might be causing the swelling on my forehead?

he sudden onset of a painless, non-itchy swelling on your forehead, coinciding with a previous episode of itchy bumps on your shoulders, could be related to an allergic reaction, insect bites, or angioedema, but other possibilities include a forehead cyst, eyelid stye, or a side effect of a medication; to determine the cause and appropriate treatment, it's recommended to consult a dermatologist or primary care physician for a thorough evaluation.

View allI'm dealing with a frustrating fungal infection near my groin area that's causing a lot of itching and has turned the skin black in that spot. It's been going on for about four months now. I've been using Terbinaforce for around 6 to 8 weeks, and I've also been applying candid powder in the morning and Clocip B cream at night. How long might it take to see some real improvement? Is there anything else I should be doing to help this heal?
It is likely a case of Tinea cruris, also known as jock itch. Terbinaforce is a good choice for treating fungal infections. It contains Terbinafine which is effective against various types of fungi. The usual dosage for Terbinaforce is to apply a thin layer on the affected area once daily for 2 to 4 weeks. Additionally, using Candid powder in the morning and Clocip B cream at night is a good combination for managing the symptoms. Candid powder contains Clotrimazole which is an antifungal agent, and Clocip B cream contains Clotrimazole and Beclomethasone which helps in reducing inflammation and itching. Continue this treatment regimen for the recommended 6 to 8 weeks for optimal results.

I've noticed a kind of dark rash spreading on my inner thighs. It's not itchy and looks reddish, but it's spreading pretty fast lately. Could you suggest the best solution or medicine for this issue?

I've been struggling with stretch marks and came across Strallium cream. I'm curious if it's really effective. Also, if I choose to go for laser treatment, how much will it actually reduce the visibility of my stretch marks?
