I'm a bit concerned about my baby's digestion since I started giving them powdered milk. Is it normal for infants to have digestive issues with it? I've been using Lactogen 1, and I'm unsure if that's the best choice. Could you share some advice or solutions for these digestion problems?

Treatment and cure:_

Antifungal creams: Continue using the prescribed fungal cream, as balanitis is often caused by fungal infections like candida.

Good hygiene: Practice good genital hygiene, including gentle cleaning with soap and water, to prevent bacterial or fungal growth.

Topical steroids: Your doctor may prescribe topical steroids to reduce inflammation and itching.

Antibiotics: If the infection is bacterial, your doctor may prescribe antibiotics.

Scars on the foreskin:

Fungal infections can cause scarring: Repeated fungal infections can lead to scarring on the foreskin.

Circumcision may be recommended: In severe cases, circumcision may be recommended to prevent future infections and scarring.

Why it's not yet fixed:

Inadequate treatment duration: 15 days might not be enough to fully clear the infection.

Insufficient hygiene practices: Make sure to practice good genital hygiene to prevent re-infection.

Underlying conditions: Certain conditions, such as diabetes or immune system disorders, can increase the risk of recurring balanitis.

I'm really worried about my 4 and a half-month-old daughter. She's got these small red pimple-like spots on her cheeks, just a few of them. I spoke to a doctor who suggested using Physiogel Hypoallergenic moisturizer, but after applying it for two days, there's been no improvement. Are these spots normal, or is there something else I should be doing? I've attached a picture for reference.

I'm wondering if it's okay to give my son a Limcee chewable tablet once a day since he often gets a cough. I've heard vitamin C helps with immunity. He's 7 years and 6 months old. Would this be safe and effective for him?

yes you can give for 1 week continously and then give once in a week for next 2 -3 months

I'm really worried about my baby. She's got these white spots on her face and her skin is super dry. I've been using Cetaphil moisturizer, but it doesn't seem to be helping at all. What's going on, and what should I do to help her skin get better?

It sounds like your baby may be experiencing a condition called eczema, which can cause dry, itchy skin and white spots. In addition to using a moisturizer like Cetaphil, I recommend using a gentle steroid cream like Hydrocortisone 1% cream on the affected areas twice a day for 1-2 weeks. Make sure to apply a thin layer and avoid the eye area. Also, consider using a mild soap for bathing and keeping the skin well moisturized throughout the day. If the symptoms persist or worsen, please consult a pediatrician for further evaluation and management.
