I was combing my son's hair today and noticed these small black spots on his scalp. They seem dry and come out with his hair when I comb it harder. He hasn't mentioned any itching or pain, but I'm kind of worried. What could these spots be, and should I do anything about it?

I've been dealing with jock itch in my inner thigh and groin area for over three years now, but I've never actually gone to a doctor because it didn't seem like a big deal. It mostly itches at night, and the intensity variessome days it's better, and then it gets worse again. I've tried applying Candid Dusting Powder and Sebefin cream, which helped my brother when he had this issue, but it didn't work for me. I also tried Suthol and Itch Guard, but no luck there either. The skin's become dark, and these little pimples keep popping up that take forever to go away. It's not spreading much, and maybe that's why I haven't seen a doctor yet. But now I really want to get rid of it. Any idea on what I should do?

I'm dealing with mild acne and have noticed that my skin tends to be pretty dry. I'm thinking about using Alograce cream at night to help with the dryness, but I'm a bit unsure if it's suitable for acne or if it will actually help moisturize my skin. Could you give me some advice on whether this is a good idea or if there's something better I should consider?

Yes you ca try with it if it doesnt work visit Dermatologist for appropriate management
