Question

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?

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 1. Hydrocortisone cream or ointment: Over-the-counter (OTC) hydrocortisone creams or ointments can help soothe and moisturize dry skin on the penis tip. 2. 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. 3. Cetaphil cream or moisturizer: Fragrance-free, non-comedogenic moisturizers like Cetaphil can help hydrate and soothe dry skin on the penis tip. 4. Urea-based creams: Urea-based creams, such as Urea cream or Carmol 40, can help moisturize and soften dry skin.

Question

I'm struggling with really oily skin, and it's like my face is covered in open pores and acne. It's been driving me crazy, and I'm really hoping you might have some advice on a good face gel or any remedies that might help. Also, if you know of any skin specialists who could help, that would be awesome. I'm kinda worried and would appreciate any guidance you can give!

Question

I'm dealing with this issue for about 56 weeks now. I've got these small rashes on the skin of the penis cap and the inner skin too. Sometimes they seem to clear up, but then they come back. It also hurts during sex. Can you tell me what's going on?

Question

Can I use Candid B cream for my 4-and-a-half-year-old daughter's small ringworm on her back and face? Is it safe, or should I try using fusidic cream instead? I'm just worried and want to make sure it's okay.
