View allI'm dealing with a situation where my scrotum is constantly wet, and while there's no itching, it's making me pretty uncomfortable. Can you suggest what medication or treatment might help with this?
You can try using an antiperspirant specifically designed for sensitive areas like the scrotum. Apply a thin layer to the affected area once daily before bedtime. This can help reduce sweating and keep the area dry and comfortable.

I live abroad in Saudi Arabia and recently purchased Pigmanorm cream, which contains hydroquinone, for my melasma and dyspigmentation. After using it for 3 days, the area where I applied it turned really red. I'm quite worried about this reaction, even though I'm also using Eveline sunscreen SPF 50 in the afternoons. Should I stop using the cream, or should I continue? And will the redness on my skin go away on its own? I'm also sharing a picture of my face and the cream I used to help you understand better. Can you guide me on what to do next?

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.
