My friend has been dealing with an itchy sensation on his thighs near his private area for about two weeks now, where the legs meet. At first, he thought it might be a daad, so he tried using ring guard and other similar treatments, but the itching just keeps getting worse. Can you tell me what this might be and suggest what he should do?

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.

Can using Clearz Plus affect my skin negatively? I have some pimple scars on my cheeks, and my skin tends to be oily.

Clearz Plus, containing salicylic acid and tea tree oil, can be beneficial for oily skin and pimple scars, but start with a small patch test to check for any adverse reactions, and use it as directed, as excessive use can lead to dryness, irritation, or post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH).

I'm really worried about my friend who keeps getting ringworm over and over. She gets better after treatment, but then a few months later, it pops up again. Is this something serious, or does it mean something else might be going on? The doctor mentioned coming back if it happens again, do you think she should make another appointment? What steps should she take to finally get rid of it for good?
