I'm dealing with really dry skin around my vaginal area, particularly on the front of the mons pubis and in the creases. It's red, itchy, and just feels awful. What might be causing this, and how can I make it better?

This could be fungal infection u need to evaluate with your Dermatologist and get appropriate treatment with oral antifungal medications and topical lotions,once the infection is resolved your hair fall would come down,I suggest you not to use minoxidil with active fungal infection,above this your personal hygiene care is more important.

View allI've had a keloid problem for the last 3 years and now I have big keloid marks like thick lines on my hand. I'm thinking about plastic surgery but I'm scared because what if the stitches from the surgery also turn into keloids? Will that happen?

I've been on Brintop F 5 for 56 months now, as my dermatologist suggested. At first, like around the first 34 months, it did wonders for meI noticed my hair thinning got so much better. But lately, Im seeing the opposite. My hair above the forehead is thinning even more now, and there's more dandruff, too. Should I bump up the strength of the lotion from 5 to 10, or would it be better to stop using it altogether?
It seems like you are experiencing some changes in your hair growth pattern and increased dandruff while using Brintop F 5. I recommend consulting your dermatologist for a reevaluation of your current treatment. Your dermatologist may consider adjusting the dosage or switching to a different medication. In the meantime, you can try using a medicated anti-dandruff shampoo like Nizoral 2% twice a week to help manage the dandruff.

I'm having this intense, painful itching all over my body every winter, especially when I start moving around, like when I'm walking. It feels like I'm being stabbed by a thousand tiny needles, mostly on my upper body and legs. Its crazy painful, but it seems to disappear once I start sweating. Lately, I've noticed these small bump-like things appearing during these itching episodes, but they vanish after a few hours. I'm really curious about what's causing this. Also, I've got this recurring issue with my fingers; they keep getting dry. Vaseline helps for a bit, but the dryness just comes back. Any idea what's going on with that?
Apply moisturizers more frequently throughout the day, especially after washing your hands. Look for creams that contain glycerin, hyaluronic acid, or ceramides. Consider using gentle, hydrating hand soaps and avoid washing your hands with very hot water, as it can dry out the skin. Wear gloves when you're outdoors in cold weather to protect your hands from the elements. Avoid harsh chemicals like cleaning products that can further dry out the skin.
