I've noticed these dry white flakes on my lower scrotum and between my legs. They're not itchy, but they keep showing up every day. Should I be worried, or is there something I can do to make them go away?

The dry skin flakes on your lower scrotum and between your legs could be due to dry skin, eczema, or a fungal infection, and to manage the issue, try applying a moisturizer, antifungal cream like clotrimazole, or a hydrocortisone cream, and maintain good hygiene, drying the area thoroughly, especially after showering or exercising.

I've been struggling with a stubborn ringworm infection on my inner thigh, and it's just not going away. I've already tried some over-the-counter creams, but they aren't doing the trick. I'm getting pretty frustrated and worried. What else can I do to treat this persistent issue? Is there something stronger I should be using? Any advice would be really helpful.

Maintain personal hygiene like take bath twice daily and wear clean clothes etc., visit Dermatologist for appropriate treatment which includes oral and topical antifungals.
