My fianc's been dealing with this red, kinda dry, super itchy scrotum, especially where his leg creases and on the scrotum itself. It's not something we can just ignore because its pretty annoying for him. Do you have any idea what could be going on or how we might help him feel better? Is there anything specific we should try or avoid?

I recommend using an antifungal cream like Lotrimin Ultra twice a day on the affected areas for 2-4 weeks. Additionally, keeping the area clean and dry, wearing loose-fitting underwear, and avoiding scratching will help with the healing process.

I've been using Betnovate N cream on and off for about 10 years, and now I've got these dark spots on my cheeks near my nose. I'm seeing a dermatologist who told me to use Azelaic acid cream 20 at night for just 30 minutes and Dermadew Glow cream during the day. It's almost been a month and I don't really see any improvement. I'm really stressed about these spots. What do you think about this treatment?

Prolonged usage betnovate cream would have made your skin sensitive,and lead for hyperpigmention,it takes time to heal have patience and follow your doctors advice.

I've been using Skinlite cream for about a month, and I recently heard it might not be good for the skin. I'm worried about what could happen if I stop using it. What side effects might I run into if I discontinue it?
