I'm dealing with some dry and peeling skin on my scrotum, and it seems to be spreading. I've been using ketoconazole cream, but it isn't really helping. What could be going on here, and should I try a different treatment or see a doctor?

I've been dealing with dry and cracked skin on my right palm for quite some time now, but it doesn't really hurt. It's just a bit concerning since my left hand seems totally fine and normal. What could be causing this difference, and should I be worried or seeing someone about this?
May be due to a variety of reasons such as excessive hand washing, exposure to harsh chemicals, or environmental factors. I recommend using a moisturizing cream containing urea and lactic acid, such as Eucerin Advanced Repair Hand Cream, twice a day on the affected hand. Additionally, wearing gloves while doing household chores or using hand sanitizers can help protect the skin.

I've been dealing with a lot of dandruff lately, and it's started to cause pimples on my face. What can I do about this dandruff problem? Any advice would be appreciated.
Dandruff can be treated with anti-dandruff shampoos containing ketoconazole. You can try using Nizoral shampoo twice a week for 4 weeks to help reduce dandruff. Additionally, for the pimples on your face, you can use a topical acne treatment such as benzoyl peroxide gel (2.5%) once daily on the affected areas. Remember to consult a dermatologist for further evaluation and management if the symptoms persist.
