I've noticed some white patchesfirst on my chin and then by the side of my headand now those areas have stopped growing hair. It seems a bit like a fungal infection, especially since I had similar white spots around my neck last year. Can you recommend a cream or shampoo that might help? I'm starting to get a bit concerned.

It sounds like you may be experiencing a fungal infection causing white patches and hair loss. I recommend using an antifungal cream like Clotrimazole cream twice a day on the affected areas. In addition, you can use a ketoconazole shampoo like Nizoral twice a week to help treat the fungal infection on the scalp. Make sure to follow the instructions on the packaging for both products.

I've been having a lot of itching around my penis and testes lately. Scratching gives me temporary relief, but then it starts itching again. I've tried using Candid lotion, but it hasn't helped at all. I'm really consistent about bathing every day and even use cooling powders, yet the itchiness persists. It's pretty embarrassing because I can't stop myself from scratching in public sometimes. Also, there are visible red scratch marks between my penis and upper thighs. Can you help me figure out what might be going on and what I should do?
You may be experiencing a fungal infection in the groin area, also known as jock itch. In addition to maintaining good hygiene practices, you can try using an antifungal cream such as Clotrimazole (brand name Lotrimin) twice a day for 2-4 weeks. Make sure to keep the area clean and dry, and wear loose-fitting cotton underwear to help reduce moisture and friction. If the symptoms persist or worsen, it's important to follow up with a healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.
