View allI'm pretty sure I've got balanitis and I'm wondering if it will clear up on its own. What should I do to treat it? I'm dealing with a lot of inflammation and itching. Any tips or medicines you could recommend?
Balanitis can be uncomfortable, but it's treatable. Here's what you can do: *Self-Care* 1. *Keep the area clean*: Wash with mild soap and lukewarm water. 2. *Avoid irritants*: Steer clear of harsh soaps, bubble baths, and tight clothing. 3. *Pat dry*: Gently pat the area dry, rather than rubbing. *Over-the-Counter (OTC) Medications* 1. *Hydrocortisone cream*: Reduces inflammation and itching. 2. *Antifungal creams*: If the cause is fungal (e.g., candida), use an antifungal cream like clotrimazole. *Prescription Medications (if necessary)* 1. *Antibiotics*: If the cause is bacterial. 2. *Steroid creams*:

I'm struggling with dandruff all year round, no matter the weather. I've tried using lemon juice, hair oils, anti-dandruff shampoos, even henna, but nothing seems to work. It's super itchy all the time, and washing my hair every other day hasn't helped at all. I generally have dry skin, but this dandruff issue has really worsened in the past year. Could you please give me some advice on what I might try next?

I'm concerned because I've been using Beta GC ointment for around two years for itching and pimples on my face, based on my doctor's advice. I've been applying it once every 8 to 10 days, but if I stop, I get these small pimple-like bumps and the itching starts up again. Now I'm really worried because I can't find the tube in the market anymore. What should I do?
