I've had this small skin tag near my anus for about 23 years. It's not a hemorrhoid because it doesnt hurt, but it does swell up a bit during bowel movements. Im really curious to know if this is actually a skin tag or if it could be something else. Also, how can I get it removed?

View allI'm really stressed out because I've had this fungal infection on my inner thigh for a whole year now. I went to a skin specialist and followed the treatment they gave me, and it seemed to clear up. But out of nowhere, it's back again and even spreading. I'm really worried about it getting worse. Can you recommend a specialist or suggest a more effective treatment?
First complete the course of the treatment properly without fail.Even then if it's not subsiding ask your consultant dermatologist to change the treatment or go for a second opinion.

I've got this really itchy, black, and flaky skin on my inner thighs. It gets super itchy and smelly, especially if I sit on a fiber chair for a long time. There's this weird smelly, sticky substance that starts coming out, and it's definitely not sweat. Things get worse if I skip a shower. I've tried all sorts of treatments for eczema, but nothing seems to work. My crotch is always really warm, but instead of sweating, there's this strange stuff. It's getting in the way of my social life because, even if the substance isn't there, the itch leaves a bad smell. What could this be, and how can I fix it?
It sounds like you may be dealing with a fungal infection in the groin area, also known as jock itch. I recommend using an antifungal cream such as Lotrimin Ultra or Lamisil AT. Apply the cream to the affected area twice a day for at least 2 weeks. Keep the area clean and dry, and avoid wearing tight clothing. If the symptoms persist or worsen, please follow up with a healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.

I've noticed that the skin around my vaginal area, including the lips, seems darker than I'd like it to be. I'm really hoping to find some natural remedies that could lighten the area fairly quickly. Could you recommend any home treatments for this? I'm quite worried about it and would love your advice.
there are no such medications to brighten the vaginal area. i would suggest you to keep it clean and dry it
