I got stung by a honey bee on my penis shaft and took out the sting myself. It didn't hurt after that, but now, about half an hour later, it's swollen up. What do you recommend for medication or treatment?

Oral medicine will take a lot of time to show its complete effect in this scenario .You better consult a doctor physically so that with injectables it will be resolved as soon as possible .

I'm really worried because I'm experiencing significant hair fall and dandruff, and I'm not sure what to do about it. I've also noticed that some strands have turned white. I've heard about Livon hair tonic being helpful, but I'm not entirely sure if it's the right choice. Could you please guide me on how to stop the hair fall and possibly regrow my hair?

I've just applied castor oil on my face for the first time, and suddenly I've got these small red bumps popping up all over. I'm not sure what's going on. Could you tell me what might be causing this and if there's any ointment or treatment I could use to help calm my skin down? Would appreciate any advice you have!

It sounds like you may be experiencing an allergic reaction or irritation from the castor oil. You can try using a hydrocortisone cream, such as Cortaid, to help reduce inflammation and itching. Apply a thin layer to the affected areas twice a day for up to a week. If the symptoms persist or worsen, please consult a doctor for further evaluation and management.

I've noticed a patch of dry skin on my right under thigh, but it's not itchy or causing any discomfort. Could you recommend an ointment for this?

Since there's no itch or discomfort, you can try the following over-the-counter (OTC) ointments: 1. *Moisturizing creams*: Cetaphil Moisturizing Cream, Eucerin Advanced Repair Cream, or CeraVe Moisturizing Cream. 2. *Hydrocortisone cream*: A mild steroid cream like hydrocortisone (0.5-1%) can help reduce inflammation and dryness. 3. *Urea-based creams*: Urea (10-20%) creams, such as Eucerin Advanced Repair Cream or Aquaphor Healing Ointment, can help lock in moisture. 4. *Vaseline*: Petroleum jelly (Vaseline) can provide a protective barrier and help retain moisture. Apply the ointment 2-3 times a day, or as needed. If the patch persists or worsens, consult a doctor or dermatologist for further guidance.
