I'm a 25-year-old guy and I've been dealing with some intense itching around my private area for the past few months. It's gotten so bad that the skin has turned black. I've tried using things like Nicil powder, but nothing seems to help stop the itch. What could be going on, and how can I get some relief?

I've noticed a really small area on the skin of my penis that's incredibly itchy, and I'm worried it might be scabies. It's driving me crazy, and I'm not sure what to do about it. Could you help me figure out what this is and what steps I should take next?

Scabies can occur on various parts of the body, but it typically affects areas with folds or creases in the skin. Here are some common locations where scabies often occur: Common Locations 1. Finger webs: The areas between the fingers are a common site for scabies. 2. Wrist and forearm: The wrist and forearm areas are often affected. 3. Elbow and armpit: The elbow and armpit areas can also be affected. 4. Waist and groin: The waist and groin areas are common sites for scabies. 5.

I'm really curious about something. I've been using Fair and Lovely cream for the past six months, and I'm wondering if there are any side effects I should know about. Also, I'm a bit worried that if I stop using it, my face might get darker again. Is that something I should expect?

Fair and Lovely cream contains ingredients like hydroquinone, which can cause side effects such as skin irritation, redness, and thinning of the skin with long-term use. It is not recommended to use hydroquinone-containing products for extended periods of time without medical supervision. If you stop using the cream, your skin may revert back to its original condition, but it is important to transition to a different skincare routine to maintain the results. I recommend consulting a dermatologist for a proper evaluation and guidance on alternative skincare products.

I've been having some issues ever since I quit smoking cigarettes back in June. I tried putting a cigarette to my mouth a few days without actually smoking, and my lips burned really badly. Ever since then, they've been swelling on and off. I also started vaping around the same time. Now my lips are swollen, itchy, and they look kind of bruised. Do you think this could be related to quitting smoking or starting vaping? What should I do?
