View allI'm dealing with some really irritating itching and inflammation around my inner thighs and below the scrotum, and it's been going on for about two months now. I noticed it started when it was super humid, and I was walking a lot with sweaty thighs. Before, I used to just apply Itch Guard, and that seemed to do the trick, but this time it hasn't helped. I've also tried using Dexoderm Terbest cream, but I'm still struggling with the same issue. Could you help me figure out what else I should do?
Potential Causes* 1. *Intertrigo*: A skin condition caused by friction, moisture, and bacteria, common in warm and humid environments. 2. *Candidiasis*: A fungal infection, often triggered by excessive moisture and sweat. 3. *Contact dermatitis*: An allergic reaction or irritation from clothing, soap, or other substances. 4. *Eczema*: A chronic skin condition characterized by dryness, itching, and inflammation. *Treatment Options* 1. *Antifungal creams*: Continue using Terbest cream or try other antifungal creams like clotrimazole or miconazole. 2. *Hydrocortisone cream*: Dexoderm is a hydrocortisone cream. You can continue using it to reduce inflammation. 3. *Calamine lotion*: Apply calamine lotion to soothe itching and reduce inflammation. 4. *Tea tree oil*: Mix a few drops of tea tree oil with a carrier oil (coconut or olive oil) and apply it to the affected area. Tea tree oil has antifungal and antibacterial properties. *Self-Care Measures* 1. *Keep the area clean and dry*: Wash the affected area with mild soap and lukewarm water. Dry thoroughly, especially after exercising or sweating. 2. *Wear breathable clothing*: Choose loose-fitting cotton underwear and avoid tight clothing that can trap moisture. 3. *Avoid scratching*: Scratching can further irritate the skin and lead to infection. 4. *Apply powder*: Use a medicated powder or talcum powder to keep the area dry and reduce friction.

I'm 27 and dealing with severe male pattern baldness, and now I've got dandruff too. I'm wondering if I can use minoxidil 5% solution even though I have dandruff. I'm thinking of shaving my head and starting with a dandruff shampoo, and then maybe using minoxidil after a couple of weeks. But I'm worried about any severe side effects this solution might have on my body. Is it safe to use?
