I've noticed some red spots and a white layer on the head of my penis, and it's also really itchy. Initially, there was this white substance that formed, and now, these red spots have appeared. I'm kind of worried about what this might be and how I should treat it. Any advice?

View allI'm really worried about this persistent ringworm I've been dealing with lately. I've heard about creams for fungal infections that don't contain steroids, but I'm not sure which ones are effective. Can you recommend any good steroid-free creams that might help clear this up?
That looks like fungal infection which needs oral and topical antifungal medication and personal hygiene is the main stay, visit Dermatologist for appropriate management.

I've been dealing with Jock itch for a few years now, and it gets really bad during certain seasons. I've been using FourDerm regularly to try and control the itching, but the infection just won't go away. Recently, I've started going for regular morning walks, and as a result, I'm losing some weight. Now the skin around my thighs has become really sensitive and soft, and it's making me feel really uncomfortable, especially when I walk. What should I do about this? Any advice on how to manage this better?
It sounds like you are experiencing a persistent case of jock itch that is causing discomfort, especially in the thigh area. FourDerm may not be effective enough to treat the infection. I recommend trying a combination antifungal cream like Lotrimin Ultra, applying it twice a day for at least 2 weeks. Additionally, keeping the affected area clean and dry, wearing loose-fitting clothing, and avoiding sharing personal items can help prevent further spread of the infection.
