I'm dealing with some intense itching on my scrotum that started last night, and it's getting really unbearable. There's no redness or any marks, though. Any idea what could be causing this, and how can I get some relief?

The itching on your scrotum could be due to various reasons such as fungal infections, eczema, or contact dermatitis, so apply an over-the-counter hydrocortisone cream and if the itching persists or worsens, consult a dermatologist for proper evaluation and treatment.

I'm really concerned about these dark circles under my eyes. Is it safe to use mometasone cream for them? I heard about something called MMS cream, any idea what brand that is? And, by the way, are there any potential side effects I should worry about?

Avoid using Mometasone cream (brand names: MMS Cream, Elocon, Momate) for dark circles under the eyes, as it can cause side effects like skin thinning, glaucoma, cataract formation, rosacea-like symptoms, and dependence, instead consider alternative eye creams or consult a dermatologist.

I'm a bit confused about using Callan lotion and I Glow gel at night. Is it okay to apply both at the same time? I noticed that the prescription says I need to use the I Glow gel for the entire night after a few days. Can you help clarify what I should do?
