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?

View allMy palms and feet sweat excessively and it's really bothering me. Is there any permanent treatment or surgery that can stop this? I've tried everything but nothing seems to work long-term.
Excessive sweating (palms/feet) may respond to iontophoresis or Botox; thoracic sympathectomy is a surgical cure but has risks like compensatory sweating.

I've been dealing with sinus issues for two years now and to help with the headaches, I've been using Zandu Balm on my forehead. But over the past year, I've noticed that part of my forehead has turned completely black. Do you have any idea what's going on or how I can stop this from happening?
The use of Zandu balm on your forehead for an extended period has led to a condition called "contact leukoderma" or "chemical leukoderma." What is Contact Leukoderma? Contact leukoderma is a condition where the skin loses its pigmentation due to exposure to certain chemicals or substances. In your case, the prolonged use of Zandu balm has caused the skin on your forehead to lose its pigmentation, resulting in the black discoloration. How to Avoid Further Discoloration? 1. Stop using Zandu balm: Immediately discontinue the use of Zandu balm on the affected area to prevent further discoloration. 2. Consult a dermatologist: Schedule an appointment with a dermatologist to assess the affected area and provide guidance on treatment options. 3. Use sun protection: Avoid exposing the affected area to direct sunlight, as this can worsen the discoloration. Use a broad-spectrum sunscreen with at least SPF 30 when going outdoors. 4. Avoid further irritation: Refrain from using harsh skin care products, exfoliating, or using hot water on the affected area, as this can cause further irritation and discoloration.
