I'm dealing with some really dry skin issues and I've got this visible white spot in a sensitive area. It's painful between my thighs and around my genital area. I'm worried it might be some kind of fungal infection or maybe scabies. Can I use Vaseline petroleum jelly to help with the dryness, or could that make things worse? I'm just not sure what the best thing to do is.

I've been using multani mitti and apple cider vinegar on my face to try and clear up some acne, but now I'm dealing with some skin burn, a lot of redness, and even a little bit of peeling. What should I do about this? Is there a way to soothe my skin or should I be worried?

To treat the skin burn, redness, and peeling, you can use a mild corticosteroid cream like Hydrocortisone cream along with a gentle moisturizer like Cetaphil. Apply the Hydrocortisone cream twice a day on the affected areas and follow it up with the moisturizer. Additionally, you can take an oral antihistamine like Cetirizine to reduce any itching or inflammation. Make sure to avoid further use of multani mitti and apple cider vinegar on your face.

Topical treatments like silicone gel or cream, pressure dressings, and even some natural remedies can be effective.
