I've noticed these white patches in my mouth, and they don't really hurt or bother me, but I'm kind of worried about what they might be. Could you help me figure out what's going on and how to treat them? Id really appreciate a quick response.

I've got these white patches and flaky skin around my groin and thighs, and it's really itchy at times. I've been using itch guard for about two days now, but it's not helping at all. Should I keep using the itch guard or is it time to see a doctor about this?

You may be experiencing a fungal infection such as jock itch. In addition to using an antifungal cream like Clotrimazole 1% cream, I recommend keeping the affected area clean and dry. You can continue applying the antifungal cream twice a day for 2-4 weeks. If your symptoms do not improve or worsen after a week of using the cream, it would be advisable to consult a doctor for further evaluation and treatment.
