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 26 and I've noticed that my hairline is receding, especially around my temples. I saw a dermatologist and they recommended I use Hair Joy 5 Minoxidil foam. I've started using it, but I'm experiencing a rapid heartbeat and I'm getting anxious about possibly having chest pain. I really want to keep using the minoxidil, but the side effects, especially the palpitations, are really worrying me. What should I do?
If you are experiencing rapid heartbeats and are worried about chest pain, you should discuss this with your dermatologist. They may recommend adjusting the dosage or trying a different formulation of minoxidil. In the meantime, you can consider using a different hair growth product such as "Rogaine" foam which contains minoxidil and is known to have fewer side effects. The recommended dosage for Rogaine foam is usually 1g applied to the affected area twice daily. Remember to always follow the instructions provided by your healthcare provider.

I've been dealing with acne scars for a while now and I remember using Clinagel which had Clindamycin phosphate 1% and allantoin, and it actually worked really well for me. But it seems like it's not available anymore. Could you suggest a similar alternative that just includes these two ingredients? I'm really looking for something as effective.
