Either a jock itch or an STI can cause groin itching. Jock itch results from sweat and friction, leading to redness, itching, and rashes. An STI may have similar symptoms but is related to unprotected sex. Use antifungal creams for jock itch and practice safe sex to prevent STIs. Maintaining good hygiene is also important.

I got pad rash (red puss bumps on my buttocks) almost 15 days ago after which the pain decresed but it left white pimple like spots on my buttocks and for the pad rash i took candid cream and augmentin 625, currently i have tinea cruris for which iam taking kenz cream and itaspor 100 mg, can you please tell me what should i apply for white spots. can i continue the tinea cruris cream on the same spot

Don't worry the white patches will recover. They are post inflammatory hypopigmentation. Complete it as per course of a month and local cream for a month, so that reoccurrence is avoided. Other days apply Absorb powder to reduce sweating and secondary infection. For more information visit best dermatologist in India

I’m an 18 year old female, and last week on Friday/Saturday I started coming up in raised itchy bumps, it looks like a rash, but we presumed it was psorisis due to me having occasional ecsma so I’ve been using aquous cream etc but unfortunately it doesn’t seem to be going is is spreading, so we think it may be a rash/allergic reaction now

Female | 18

You have a rash that is itchy and spreading to me. An allergic reaction or skin irritation might be the reason behind this. It's possible that what you touched earlier was triggering it. You should use anti-itch cream and stop scratching. Shouldn't it get better, a dermatologist will be better to talk to as they provide such services.

Can I use soframycin ointment on my nose piercing

Female | 17

Nose piercings sometimes get infected. Redness, swelling, pus appear when germs enter. Soframycin ointment doesn't treat piercing infections. Saline solution (saltwater) gently cleans the area. Rinse piercing multiple times daily. If symptoms persist beyond several days, consult a doctor. Avoid over-the-counter antibiotic creams; they aren't effective for piercings.

I have a rash on breast for a year changes slightly recently. No other symptoms

Female | 40

A rash on the breast persisting for a year and showing recent changes should prompt a visit to a dermatologist. While it could be benign, such changes may signify underlying issues like dermatitis, fungal infections, or even rare conditions like Paget's disease of the breast.

I have got few pimples around mouth and on chin.. Few weeks back I had one boil on penis shaft which went away.. After some days there was one more big boil which also went away.. Me and my partner never had any other history or never involved with any other partner before.. We had oral sex and used condoms for other sex.. Not able to understand are these pimples normal due to warm weather or something else?

Summer heat can cause pimples around your mouth and chin. The boils on your penis may be folliculitis — an infection when bacteria enters hair follicles. Cleanliness and dryness help prevent this condition. If pimples persist or you have concerns, see a dermatologist.

Got a human bite during a fight. It has made 5 bruise marks of teeth. Wanted to ask if tetanus injection is required

Male | 14

Getting a human bite might seem harmless, but it requires care. Five teeth bruise marks signal potential tetanus risk. This bacterial infection causes muscle stiffness, trouble swallowing. Don't delay consulting your doctor if bitten. They'll likely recommend a tetanus shot as preventive measure.
