I'm dealing with oily and acne-prone skinwhat I can use Venusia cream as a moisturizer? I'm really worried about whether it might block my pores and lead to more acne. What do you think?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Venusia cream is not specifically formulated for oily and acne-prone skin. It may be too heavy and could potentially clog pores, leading to more acne breakouts. I recommend using oil-free and non-comedogenic moisturizers like Cetaphil Oil Control Moisturizer. Apply a thin layer of moisturizer to clean skin twice a day for best results.

View allI'm a bit worried because I've been noticing some fungal infection around my penis and thighs. It's kind of like a dad type rash. I've heard about Medisalic and Fungicros cream, do you think they would work for this kind of genital fungi?
If you use medisalic or fungicross, it will cause serious and permanent damage to the skin. You may be suffering from tinea cruris which is fungal infection of the inner thighs and buttocks area. It can be treated by taking four to six weeks of anti fungal treatment which includes tablets along with creams. Do not use soap over that area. Mistreatment with over the counter Steroid containing creams like medisalic, fungicross, panderm, quadriderm, hh zole, candid b etc lead to repeated case of recurrence and also side effects due to application. Do not use steroid containing combination creams

I've been having this issue where my upper lip is always super dry, no matter what I do. It's like there's this dry, white layer, and I've tried every kind of balm or moisturizer you can think of, even home remedies, but nothing seems to work. I find myself having to apply borolene or some kind of balm every hour. What could be causing this, and what should I do?
Excessive dryness on the upper lip can be challenging to manage. Given that you've tried various balms, moisturizers, and home remedies without relief, let's explore other possible causes and solutions: Possible Causes 1. Dry air: Low humidity can dry out the skin. 2. Over-exfoliation: Using harsh products or exfoliating too frequently can strip the skin of its natural oils. 3. Allergies or sensitivities: Certain ingredients in products or environmental factors might be causing irritation. 4. Nutritional deficiencies: Lack of essential fatty acids, vitamins, or minerals can affect skin health. 5. Underlying medical conditions: Certain conditions, such as eczema, psoriasis, or autoimmune disorders, can cause dry skin. Additional Solutions 1. Lip scrubs: Try using a gentle lip scrub containing natural ingredients like sugar, honey, or coconut oil to remove dead skin cells. 2. Humidifiers: Use a humidifier to add moisture to the air, which can help alleviate dryness. 3. Protective lip balms: Look for lip balms containing natural ingredients like beeswax, coconut oil, or shea butter, which can provide a protective barrier. 4. Topical creams or ointments: Consider using topical creams or ointments containing ingredients like hyaluronic acid, ceramides, or niacinamide, which can help lock in moisture.To reduce the frequency of applying borolene or balm, try the following: 1. Apply a thick layer: Apply a thick layer of borolene or balm to the affected area and let it absorb fully. 2. Use a lip lock: Apply a lip lock or a lip sealant over the borolene or balm to help retain moisture. 3. Reapply as needed: Reapply borolene or balm as needed, rather than on a fixed schedul

I'm really worried about losing so much hair every time I apply oil or shampoo. I don't even do an oil massage, just a light application, and I always dilute my shampoo in water. I've tried a bunch of different shampoos, but nothing seems to work. Am I doing something wrong? Is it necessary to do an oil massage? My scalp is super oily, and my hair gets greasy just after two days. Should I keep using oil anyway?
Since you have an extremely oily scalp and experience greasiness within 2 days, you can opt for a clarifying shampoo like "Sebamed Anti-Dandruff Shampoo" to help control oiliness and maintain scalp health. It is not necessary to apply oil if it worsens your scalp condition, but if you still prefer to use oil, choose a non-greasy formula and apply it sparingly to the ends of your hair rather than the scalp
