I'm dealing with some concerning symptoms and could really use some advice. It began with small red dots on the skin of my penis and upper thighs, which then turned into an itch that comes and goes, leaving behind black spots. Now, the itching has returned with a vengeance, it's even more intense, and my penis seems to be a bit swollen. I've ordered Scaboma, thinking it might be scabies. Does this sound like scabies to you, or should I be worried about something else? Any suggestions on what I should do next?

It sounds like you may be experiencing symptoms of scabies. Scaboma is a suitable treatment for scabies. You can apply Permethrin 5% cream (Scaboma) all over your body from neck down to toes at night and wash it off the next morning. Repeat this after 7 days. Additionally, you can take Cetirizine 10mg once daily for itching relief. Make sure to wash all your clothes, bedding, and towels in hot water to prevent reinfestation.

View allI've been using Glyco 6 for a few weeks now to help with my acne, as my dermatologist recommended. But I've noticed that my skin tone seems to be getting duller. I'm confused if this is an effect of the Glyco 6 or something else. I make sure to use sun protection when I'm outside, so I'm not sure what's happening. Could the Glyco 6 be causing this or should I be looking into other factors?

I'm really grateful for your helpful response last time. I'm happy with the service you provide for patients. I've got another question, though. My skin texture isn't great there's some acne left even though I'm on medication and seeing a dermatologist. Theres also some pigmentation. My previous dermatologist gave me SabiGlow cream for skin lightening and to help with the pigmentation. Do you think this will help lighten my skin? I've got a wheatish skin tone, and Im curious if it's safe to use. I also stopped using propyzole nf cream after reading your review. You suggested Cetaphil DAM cream, but my skin is oily. It gets a bit dry right after washing, but gets oily again soon after. Can I still use Cetaphil DAM cream with my oily skin?
Sabi-Glow cream can be effective for lightening pigmentation and improving skin texture, but make sure you use it under the guidance of your dermatologist and always wear sunscreen. For your oily skin, you may want to adjust your moisturizer. Cetaphil DAM could be too heavy, but you can try using a smaller amount or consider switching to a lighter moisturizer like Cetaphil oil-free or a gel-based option.
