I'm experiencing this burning sensation on my scrotum, and my skin's turning red. It's not constant, but kind of comes and goes. Is there something I should be doing to ease this feeling? Would using something like Dettol be a good idea? I'd really appreciate any advice on what precautions to take to prevent this from happening again.

Could be due to a skin irritation or infection. Dettol is not recommended for use on the scrotum as it may further irritate the sensitive skin in that area. To help relieve the burning sensation and promote healing, you can try using a soothing cream or ointment containing zinc oxide or calamine. Additionally, keeping the area clean and dry is important.

Can I use Glyco 6 every day or should it be applied on alternate days? And when it comes to a face moisturizer, should I put it on before or after using Glyco 6? I'm a bit unsure about the right routine to follow.
For beginners stay with alternate days or 2-3 times per week especially if you are new to glycolic acid. For experienced users you can gradually increase to daily use.Use moisture after applying this cream.

I've noticed some changes in my skin color with different soaps. Normally, my skin tone is cream-colored, but using Santoor soap seemed to make it lighter and better. However, when I switched to Mysore Sandal soap, my skin started looking darker. Someone mentioned that Santoor soap is meant for women, so I stopped using it. Can you suggest a different soap that might help my skin get back to its original color? I'm really curious and a bit concerned about how this keeps happening.
Soap preference can be personal and skin-type dependent. To help you find a suitable soap, consider the following: 1. _Look for soaps with natural ingredients_: Soaps containing ingredients like coconut oil, olive oil, or shea butter can be gentle and nourishing. 2. _Avoid harsh soaps_: Soaps with high pH levels or containing harsh chemicals can strip your skin of its natural oils, leading to dryness and darkening. 3. _Opt for fragrance-free or hypoallergenic soaps_: These soaps are less likely to contain irritating ingredients that can affect your skin tone. Some soap options you can consider: 1. _Dove Sensitive Skin Beauty Bar_ 2. _Nivea Soft Moisturizing Soap_ 3. _Cetaphil Gentle Skin Cleanser_ 4. _Himalaya Herbals Gentle Bathing Soap_
