I'm a bit confused about using the Carel Solution. It contains coal tar topical solution USP and salicylic acid IP in an aqueous base, and I've been told to use it like a shampoo. Could you guide me on how exactly I should be applying it? I'm not sure if I'm supposed to use it differently than regular shampoo.

View allI'm experiencing some dryness at the tip of my penis and I heard Candid lotion might help. Do you think this is a good solution, or is there a better medicine you would recommend?
Candid lotion is an antifungal medication, but it may not be the best choice for dryness on the penis tip. Better Alternatives for Dryness on the Penis Tip 1. Hydrocortisone cream or ointment: Over-the-counter (OTC) hydrocortisone creams or ointments can help soothe and moisturize dry skin on the penis tip. 2. Vaseline or petroleum jelly: Applying a thin layer of Vaseline or petroleum jelly can help lock in moisture and protect the skin from further dryness. 3. Cetaphil cream or moisturizer: Fragrance-free, non-comedogenic moisturizers like Cetaphil can help hydrate and soothe dry skin on the penis tip. 4. Urea-based creams: Urea-based creams, such as Urea cream or Carmol 40, can help moisturize and soften dry skin.

I've been dealing with ringworm and it's really stubborn. Plus, there's this annoying dinaay and khujli that's just driving me up the wall! Can you recommend the best medicine or ointment to help clear this up? I'm really hoping to find something effective because it's becoming a real hassle.
You can use Terbinafine (brand name Lamisil) tablets 250mg once daily for 2-4 weeks. Additionally, you can apply Clotrimazole (brand name Lotrimin) cream twice daily on the affected area for 2-4 weeks. Make sure to keep the affected area clean and dry to help with the healing process.

I've had these black spots around my stomach for quite some time, probably around 23 months now. Initially, I thought they'd just fade away if I ignored them, but they're still there. There are about 8 of them, and they didn't start as pimples or anythingthey just appeared as black spots. Should I be worried about this or is there something that can help get rid of them?
Possible Causes 1. Melasma: Hormonal changes or sun exposure can cause melanin deposits, leading to black spots. 2. Hyper-pigmentation: Inflammation or skin injuries can cause an increase in melanin production, resulting in dark spots. 3. Skin tags: Small, benign growths can appear as black spots. 4. Seborrheic keratoses: Benign growths that can appear as black spots, especially in areas with high sun exposure. 5. Dermatosis papulosa nigra: A benign condition characterized by dark, raised spots. What to Do 1. Consult a dermatologist: Get a professional diagnosis to determine the cause of the black spots. 2. Skin examination: A dermatologist will examine your skin to determine the underlying cause. 3. Treatment options: Depending on the diagnosis, treatment options may include topical creams, laser therapy, or removal of skin tags or growths. Self-Care 1. Protect your skin from the sun: Use sunscreen with at least SPF 30 to prevent further darkening of the spots. 2. Maintain good skin hygiene: Keep the area clean and dry to prevent infection.
