Question

I'm having trouble finding Dipsalic F ointment at medical stores since they said it's not being made anymore. I've been using it for an allergic reaction, and nothing else I've tried is as effective. Can you suggest the best substitute for this ointment? I'm really concerned about finding something that works as well.

Since Dipsalic F ointment is unavailable, I'll suggest some alternatives with similar ingredients: *Alternatives with Salicylic Acid and Urea* 1. *Ursal 10% Ointment*: Contains urea (10%) and salicylic acid (3%). 2. *Keralyt 5% Gel*: Has salicylic acid (5%) and urea (10%). 3. *Salex 6% Cream*: Contains salicylic acid (6%) and might be suitable for allergic areas. *Other Options* 1. *CeraVe Renewing SA Cleanser*: A gentle cleanser with salicylic acid (2%) and hyaluronic acid. 2. *Eucerin Advanced Repair Cream*: A rich moisturizer with urea (10%) and ceramides

Question

I'm supposed to use candid LA ointment on my penis, but the tube I have doesnt mention LA, nor does it say Candid B. Are these two different creams? Also, what's the right way to apply it? Should I retract the foreskin, apply the cream, and then put the foreskin back, or apply the cream, wash it off, and then restore the foreskin?

Question

I'm dealing with a persistent fungal infection around my pubic area and inner thighs. I'm using terbina force plus cream right now. Once everything clears up, is there a powder I can use regularly to prevent it from coming back? Really hoping to keep this from happening again!

Question

I'm really worried because the skin on the tip of my penis has become dry and seems to have an allergic reaction. There's even some white discoloration around the urinary area. The skin sometimes cracks when I try to retract my foreskin and it gets really painful, even to the point where it bleeds. Could this be a fungal infection, and is there any cream or treatment you would recommend?
