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 worried about a burn scar I've had for about a month. There was a fire accident at my house, and I ended up with a superficial burn. It seems like only the first layer of my skin was affected. Is there anything specific I should do to help it heal better or reduce scarring?

Question

I've been dealing with a really itchy scrotum for the past few weeks, and it's driving me crazy. It seems to get worse after I touch it or whenever I sweat, like after sports or working out. I'm not sure if they're connected, but I've noticed the itchiness spreads to my legs, back thighs, and buttocks. Oddly enough, my chest never seems to itch. When I do scratch, the skin gets these raised bumps, but they fade after some time. The scrotum area experiences this too. It's gotten so bad that I've scratched it until it started to sting in the shower. What could be causing this, and how can I stop it?
