I'm dealing with a dry penis and my family doctor mentioned using a lotion or cream that has vitamin E. Can anyone recommend a brand that's effective?

You can try using Eucerin Intensive Repair Lotion which contains vitamin E. Apply a thin layer on the affected area twice a day for best results.

I've been dealing with acne and my dermatologist recommended a doxycycline lactic bacillus tablet for 60 days to take at night. I'm just wondering, is it actually safe to be on this medication for such a long duration?

Using doxycycline for 60 days to treat acne is generally safe for most people, but you should be aware of potential side effects like gastrointestinal issues, photosensitivity, and yeast infections. Make sure to follow your dermatologists instructions carefully

I'm trying to understand the difference between milia and molluscum. Can you explain this in detail? Also, do these conditions go away on their own, or do they need some kind of treatment? I'm really curious because I just noticed some small bumps on my skin and I'm not sure what they are or if I should be worried.

Milia is a trapped keratin and molluscum is an infection
