I'm having a hard time getting rid of sweat smell from my armpits even after washing them thoroughly when I shower. I use deodorant and apply talcum powder afterward, but the smell just seems to come back. Do you have any advice on how to deal with this?

View allI'm noticing a small spot on my hand that's kind of a light pink or white color, definitely lighter than my skin. It's about 12mm and it's the only one I have on my whole body. I'm really curious if this could be vitiligo. Could that be possible?
Yes you can have it no problem

I've been dealing with this annoying itch on my right butt cheek. It's kind of embarrassing to see a doctor in person about it. Could you suggest an ointment or gel that might help me get rid of it?
I recommend using hydrocortisone cream 1% for the itching on your right butt cheek. Apply a thin layer of the cream to the affected area twice a day for up to 7 days. Make sure to wash your hands before and after applying the cream.
