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 just turned 30 and noticed white hair in my eyebrows all of a sudden. Could this be a sign of some kind of disease? I'm really worried about what might be causing it. Any insight would be appreciated.

The sudden appearance of white hair, especially in the eyebrows, is usually a natural part of the aging process and is not necessarily indicative of a disease. It is a common occurrence as people get older. However, if you are concerned about it, you can try using a hair color product like Just For Men to cover the white hairs.

I've been dealing with this issue where the skin on my lower lip tends to harden and then get really dry. I always end up peeling it off, but then the whole cycle just starts over again. It's pretty frustrating. What could be causing this, and how can I stop it from happening?

That could be due to Dehydration or lack of moist or vitamin deficiency,stay hydrated and consume balanced diet, that would solve your problem,you also use lip balm for additional care
