I've recently recovered from a jock itch infection in my groin area, but it's left the skin there really dark and blackened. The infection itself is gone and Im not having any symptoms now, but the skin hasn't gone back to normal. Is there anything I can do to help it heal or lighten back to its usual color?

I'm really worried about these rashes on my hands and legs. The ones on my hands are between my elbow and shoulder, and they kind of look like pimples, but the ones on my legs are circular. Plus, there's so much itching going on. What could this be, and how should I treat it?

This could be fungal infection u need to evaluate with your Dermatologist and get appropriate treatment with oral antifungal medications and topical lotions,once the infection is resolved your hair fall would come down,I suggest you not to use minoxidil with active fungal infection,above this your personal hygiene care is more important.

I've been dealing with this itching in my groin area for the last month, and it's really concerning me. There are red spots, and the skin's turned a darker color. I tried using betnovate n cream to help with the itch, but it hasn't worked at all. Sometimes I even get red lumps. What do you think this could be, and how should I treat it?

That looks like fungal infection which needs oral and topical antifungal medication and personal hygiene is the main stay, visit Dermatologist for appropriate management.

Hey, I've noticed a small lump on my face situated between my right eye and the bridge of my nose. It's hard and doesnt hurt when I touch it, so I'm not sure if I should be worried. Should I get it checked out, or is it something I shouldn't be too concerned about?

Yes you can use it no problem, visit Dermatologist for appropriate treatment
