I'm curious about the lotion's effects. I've heard that if you start using it, you have to keep going, or you might lose more hair. Is that actually true? Are there any side effects I should be worried about if I decide to stop using it?

I've been using Nivea lip balms and Ponds cold cream for my chapped lips, but they only seem to help for a short while. Every two or three days, my lips go back to being chapped, and sometimes even bleed. The skin just keeps peeling. Do you have any suggestions for home remedies or medications that could help with this? I'm really looking for something more effective.

I've been having this constant burning sensation on the skin of my scrotum, and it's just in one spot. Everything else feels okay, but it's really bothering me because it's hard to walk, sit, or even sleep. I've tried using Suthol and some cooling powders, but it's not helping.

I'm a bit worried about my dad; he started using scabidol ointment for some antibacterial infections, but after about a week, he noticed white patches on the skin where he applied it. Is this something normal, or should we be concerned? What should we do next?

Scabidol ointment is commonly used to treat scabies and other parasitic infections. However, one of its ingredients, sulfur, can cause skin reactions, including skin depigmentation. Possible Causes of White Skin Patches 1. Chemical Leukoderma: Sulfur, an ingredient in Scabidol ointment, can cause chemical leukoderma, a condition characterized by the loss of skin pigmentation. 2. Contact Dermatitis: Your father may have developed contact dermatitis, an allergic reaction to one of the ingredients in the ointment. 3.
