Can I use a cream with salicylic acid in the morning and a cleanser with salicylic acid at night? Would it be too much for my skin? I'm really curious if combining them might irritate my skin or if it's safe to do both. What do you think?

it would cause mild burns or rashes so try to include it slowly to your skincare starting with facewash

Safety Considerations:
- Using both a cream and a cleanser with 6% salicylic acid can irritate your skin, especially if it's sensitive or dry.
-
Potential Skin Reactions:
- Look out for signs like dryness, redness, or peeling.
-
Recommendations: a. Start Slowly: Introduce one product at a time to monitor your skin's response. b. Moisturize: Use a gentle, non-comedogenic moisturizer to minimize irritation. c. Sun Protection: Apply sunscreen daily as salicylic acid increases sun sensitivity.
-
Consultation:
- If irritation persists, consider consulting a dermatologist for personalized advice.

My son has had a hydrocele for about a year now and sometimes complains of pain in his testicles when he plays or exercises Is there any way to treat this with medication instead of surgery
No, there are no medications to shrink or eliminate a hydrocele. If a hydrocele is not resolved on its own, surgery is the primary treatment option. However, if the hydrocele is associated with an infection or inflammation (like epididymitis), antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medications might help address the underlying cause and potentially alleviate some associated pain and swelling.
