I'm having this uncomfortable itching between my legs, right around the penis area, and I've noticed the skin there has darkened a bit. Whenever I apply talc, it seems to help with the itch. Should I be concerned about this, and is there something specific I should be doing to treat it?

I've been trying to figure out which soap is better for getting clear skin - Cinthol Original or Mysore Sandal.

Do you have any recommendations or insights on which soap might be more beneficial for my skin type?

Could you please suggest what might be going on?

Question

I'm dealing with a hair fall issue, and my doctor suggested using Diprovate Plus. The problem is, I've forgotten exactly how I'm supposed to use it. Should I be applying it directly to the scalp? I'm really unsure and a bit concerned about using it wrong. Could you guide me on this?
