Question

I've been dealing with a lot of dryness on my skin lately, and I'm not sure what to do. I heard about Luliconazole cream and was wondering if it's a good option to use for dryness. Also, I've started washing my hair daily with an anti-dandruff shampoo because my scalp gets really flaky. Is that okay to do, or could it be making the dryness worse?

Question

I've been on isotretinoin for a few months, and I'm in my 5th month now. My doctor upped my dose to 20 mg twice daily 'cause it wasn't working much initially. But now, after about 45 days, my hair's gotten thinner, and when I was checking out some videos on isotretinoin's side effects, someone mentioned it could cause erectile dysfunction. Since hearing that, I've started experiencing it too, and it's been happening for the past 5 days. Its stressing me out and affecting my mood. I havent told my doctor about the erection issue, but my dose got cut back to just 20 mg a day. Besides that, I'm also dealing with a stomach ache, digestion issues, testicular discomfort, and dryness in my throat, eyes, and lips. Im super confused and anxious about continuing isotretinoin. Could it really be the cause? What should I do? Your guidance could really help me out.

Question

I've had this white patch on the back of my shoulder for about 20 days and it's turned black after I used melanocyl ointment. It's peeling like dry skin now, and sometimes it itches, though it doesn't really hurt. The skin feels a bit sensitive. Can someone help me figure out what's going on and how to treat it?

Question

I'm experiencing a lot of pain or aching in my anus and penis after I masturbate. It's really intense, makes my whole body feel like it's on fire, and the pain is overwhelming. Can you help me understand why this is happening?
