I used a zalim lotion about 45 minutes ago, and now my skin is burning. Is this normal? What should I do to relieve the burning?

If you are experiencing burning sensation on your skin after using a lotion, it is possible that you may be having an allergic reaction or irritation to one of the ingredients in the lotion. I recommend washing the affected area with mild soap and water to remove the lotion. You can apply a soothing cream like calamine lotion or aloe vera gel to help with the burning sensation. If the burning sensation persists or worsens, you can take an over-the-counter antihistamine like cetirizine 10mg once daily for relief.

I've been dealing with jock itching for the past two months, and it's just not going away. I've tried using some creams, and while the itch sometimes gets a bit better, it keeps coming back. Is there anything else I can do to get rid of it for good? It's really frustrating!

I'm a bit worried because I've been using this vcx vitamin C serum my doctor told me to use every morning after washing my face, and instead of brightening my skin, it seems like my skin is getting darker. I've stopped using it for now but noticed that the serum has turned dark and has a weird smell. Is it still safe to use? Should I be applying this stuff in the morning or at night instead? My skin's pretty sensitive and has a bit of a dark wheatish tone, so I'm kinda concerned. Any advice would really help.

I'm a bit concerned because I've noticed a pimple-like thing on my scrotum sack. It's not painful or itchy, but it's been there for over three weeks now, and I think there's a sign that another one might be appearing. What do you think this could be? Should I be worried or get it checked out?
