I'm experiencing some dryness at the tip of my penis and I heard Candid lotion might help. Do you think this is a good solution, or is there a better medicine you would recommend?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Candid lotion is an antifungal medication, but it may not be the best choice for dryness on the penis tip.
Better Alternatives for Dryness on the Penis Tip
- Hydrocortisone cream or ointment: Over-the-counter (OTC) hydrocortisone creams or ointments can help soothe and moisturize dry skin on the penis tip.
- Vaseline or petroleum jelly: Applying a thin layer of Vaseline or petroleum jelly can help lock in moisture and protect the skin from further dryness.
- Cetaphil cream or moisturizer: Fragrance-free, non-comedogenic moisturizers like Cetaphil can help hydrate and soothe dry skin on the penis tip.
- Urea-based creams: Urea-based creams, such as Urea cream or Carmol 40, can help moisturize and soften dry skin.

I'm only getting hives on my hands and feet. They start as small red dots and then spread out into a circle. It's super itchy, and even though I take antihistamines like cetrizine, they only give me temporary relief. Omnacortil works to clear them up, but I can't use it every day because of its side effects. What can I do about this?
To manage recurring hives on hands and feet, consider consulting a dermatologist or allergist to identify underlying causes, and explore alternative treatments like immunotherapy, sublingual immunotherapy, or medications like montelukast or cyclosporine, while also maintaining a symptom journal and avoiding potential triggers.

I'm curious about the cysteine treatment I've been getting for my frizzy and dull hair these past two years. Is it actually good for my hair?
Cysteine treatment can be beneficial for hair, particularly for repairing and restoring damaged hair structure. However, it's essential to use this treatment in moderation and under the guidance of a professional stylist to avoid potential drawbacks. If you've been using cysteine treatment for two years and are satisfied with the results, it's likely that it's working well for your hair. Just remember to maintain a balanced hair care routine and be mindful of potential interactions with other hair treatments
