I'm a bit concerned after using permethrin cream to treat my scabies. The itching all over my body has stopped, but now the skin on my penis is really dry and flaky, and it's causing cuts. I had scabies on my scrotum and penis too. Is this a normal reaction to the treatment, or should I be worried?

I'm noticing a dark black spot on the left side of my stomach, and my parents mentioned it might be lassun. I'm quite curious and a bit worried about this. Can you let me know how to treat it or what it might indicate?

Based on the description of a dark black spot on your stomach, it is possible that it could be a mole or a skin lesion. However, without a proper examination, it is difficult to provide a definitive diagnosis. I recommend you to consult a dermatologist for a thorough evaluation.

Cysteine treatment can be beneficial for hair, particularly for repairing and restoring damaged hair structure. However, it's essential to use this treatment in moderation and under the guidance of a professional stylist to avoid potential drawbacks. If you've been using cysteine treatment for two years and are satisfied with the results, it's likely that it's working well for your hair. Just remember to maintain a balanced hair care routine and be mindful of potential interactions with other hair treatments

I'm really confused about what's happening with my skin lately. I had a fungal infection around my waist and was taking Zyrtec tablets along with using several creams. The infection cleared up, but now every time I stop taking the Zyrtec, I start itching all over my body. When I take it again, the itching stops. Why does this keep happening?
