My husband is 35 and he's developed ringworm near his pubic area. We're really looking for some advice on how to deal with the itching and burning. Is there a specific cream or treatment you'd recommend that could help him? We're quite concerned and could use some guidance.

I recommend using an antifungal cream such as Clotrimazole 1% cream. Apply a thin layer of the cream to the affected area twice a day for 2-4 weeks. Make sure to keep the area clean and dry before applying the cream. If the symptoms persist or worsen, please consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation and management.

Why is my skin turning black?

If your body makes too much melanin, your skin gets darker. Pregnancy, Addison's disease, and sun exposure all can make your skin darker.
