I've noticed these dry white flakes on my lower scrotum and between my legs. They're not itchy, but they keep showing up every day. Should I be worried, or is there something I can do to make them go away?

The dry skin flakes on your lower scrotum and between your legs could be due to dry skin, eczema, or a fungal infection, and to manage the issue, try applying a moisturizer, antifungal cream like clotrimazole, or a hydrocortisone cream, and maintain good hygiene, drying the area thoroughly, especially after showering or exercising.

Question

I've been dealing with this persistent itching near my bikini area for about a month now, and its gradually spreading. My skin is really dry and it's peeling, almost like it's broken. I went to a doctor who prescribed a cream called TEXIFEN, but I haven't seen any improvement. What could be causing this, and should I try a different treatment?

Question

I've been wondering if it's safe to use zydip c cream on my face. I'm hoping it might help brighten my skin, make it less oily, and maybe even get rid of those pesky black dots. Do you think that's possible, or could there be any side effects I should worry about?

Question

I'm a Civil Engineer and I'm outside at worksites a lot, which means I'm always in the sun. I try to use umbrellas and scarves, but they don't seem to help much. The sun leaves me with a tan that's really bugging me, and I'm starting to see some wrinkles forming too. I usually don't have a lot of time for salon treatments, but I make sure to go for a cleanup once a month and apply a turmeric milk face pack on alternate days. My skin's a bit oily, but I don't get many pimplesmaybe because of the face pack. I'm really hoping for some advice on how to get back to a fairer complexion. Any suggestions?
