Question

I'm trying to understand how to properly use this coal tar and salicylic acid scalp solution. After I apply it, do I need to wash my hair right after, or should I leave it on overnight? I'm a little confused about what the best way to use it is. Can you help clarify this for me?

Question

I'm dealing with a persistent jock itch and the whole thing is really frustrating. I first tried using Candid Dusting powder, which helped for a bit, but the itch just kept coming back. Then I went for an antifungal cream called Clobiprop NM, and while it reduced the rashes, they returned as soon as I stopped the cream. I've also tried a stronger cream, Clop GM, which seemed to reduce the rash and itch at first, but now my skin has turned white and its painful and itching again. Could you suggest what might be a good treatment or medication for this?

Question

I've got really sensitive and dry skin, especially with this winter weather. My T-zone is full of blackheads and it's driving me nuts. I've been using Dr. Reddy's Venusia cream and Episoft cleansing face wash, but it doesn't seem to be helping much. Can you recommend a good night cream or moisturizer? I also need a scrub that works on blackheads. Plus, my entire body seems to have dead skin cells; any idea for a moisturizing body lotion or oil? My hands and feet are super dry, almost like wrinkled aged skin, and nothing I use seems to fix it, not even glycerine. Would you have any tips on how to deal with all these skin issues?
