View allI've been noticing something unusual after using a new towel. It left some lint on my penis, and even after drying with another towel, my skin became ashy and dry on one side. I tried using oils, but the dryness keeps coming back. Now, I've also noticed my scrotum has become dry and darker in color. What's going on here? Could the towel have caused this, or is it something else? I'm genuinely concerned and would appreciate any insight you might have.
Visit dermatologist for evaluation and appropriate management

I'm really grateful for your helpful response last time. I'm happy with the service you provide for patients. I've got another question, though. My skin texture isn't great there's some acne left even though I'm on medication and seeing a dermatologist. Theres also some pigmentation. My previous dermatologist gave me SabiGlow cream for skin lightening and to help with the pigmentation. Do you think this will help lighten my skin? I've got a wheatish skin tone, and Im curious if it's safe to use. I also stopped using propyzole nf cream after reading your review. You suggested Cetaphil DAM cream, but my skin is oily. It gets a bit dry right after washing, but gets oily again soon after. Can I still use Cetaphil DAM cream with my oily skin?
Sabi-Glow cream can be effective for lightening pigmentation and improving skin texture, but make sure you use it under the guidance of your dermatologist and always wear sunscreen. For your oily skin, you may want to adjust your moisturizer. Cetaphil DAM could be too heavy, but you can try using a smaller amount or consider switching to a lighter moisturizer like Cetaphil oil-free or a gel-based option.

I'm really worried about my husband. He's been scratching his private parts for years now, and he says using prickly heat powders or itching creams helps for a bit, but it's only temporary relief. He insists it's just a habit and nothing's wrong, so he doesn't see a point in visiting a doctor. But honestly, it feels off to me. Could this be a sign of something serious? Should he actually get it checked out? Is there anything I should be doing or suggesting to him?
This could be fungal infection u need to evaluate with your Dermatologist and get appropriate treatment with oral antifungal medications and topical lotions,once the infection is resolved your hair fall would come down,I suggest you not to use minoxidil with active fungal infection,above this your personal hygiene care is more important.
