I'm experiencing dryness and severe itching in the pubic hair area, especially at night. It's becoming really uncomfortable, and I have no idea what's causing it or how to treat it. Could it be something serious, and what would you recommend I do to alleviate these symptoms?

I'm taking finasteride 1mg every day for my pattern hair loss, and I've also started taking isotretinoin 5mg for my cystic acne that flares up now and then. I usually take isotretinoin for a few weeks until the acne goes away. I'm worried if these two drugs might interact with each other. Is it safe to use both of them at the same time?

Finasteride and isotretinoin can be taken together

I've been using Zole F for my scrotal dermatitis for a couple of days now, and I'm starting to worry because I've been sweating a lot where I applied it. The skin around that area has gotten darker, and now the top layer is peeling. Is this something I should be concerned about? Does it sound normal to you?
