Can I use Emolene cream as my daily moisturizer? I've got super sensitive skin, and even natural products seem to irritate it. Also, is it okay to put sunscreen on top of the Emolene cream? Would love some advice on this.

  1. Suitability of Emolene Cream for Sensitive Skin:

    • Emolene contains propylene glycol and diazolidinyl urea, which may irritate sensitive skin.
    • Patch test on a small area before regular use to check for reactions.
  2. Sunscreen Application:

    • Use a mineral-based sunscreen (zinc oxide or titanium dioxide) over Emolene.
    • Ensure the sunscreen is fragrance-free and suitable for sensitive skin.
  3. General Advice:

    • Discontinue use if irritation occurs and consult a dermatologist.
    • A dermatologist can recommend products tailored to your skin type.

I'm dealing with this really annoying itching that's been going on since May. At first, it was just itching, but then the spots turned into these reddish round patches. I thought it might be something like ringworm, so I got some ring out ointment from the store, but the itching came back. Sometimes, it gets so bad that it even bleeds a bit. I've been using coconut oil and bathing with Dettol twice a day, but it's not helping much. It's really getting on my nerves. Any idea what could be causing this or how to make it stop?

this looks like a disease called intertrigo,this needs oral and topical antifungal agents, visit dermatologist for appropriate treatment,personal hygiene is most important in such conditions.

I'm dealing with this really uncomfortable situation where my pubic hair has been itching a lot lately, and I noticed something white in that area, almost like dandruff. It's getting worse, and I'm worried it might be an infection. I'm not sure what steps to take next. Any advice?
