I'm a little confused about the instructions my dermatologist gave me for using Candid B lotion on my scalp. He mentioned something about 33 drops twice a day, but I can't remember if I should be applying it morning and night, or at different times. Also, should I be massaging it into my scalp? Would love some guidance on this, as I want to make sure I'm using it correctly.

Candid B lotion contains a combination of antifungals and corticosteroid components. It should be applied once in the morning and once in the night before bed. You should use the pulp of your fingers to gently massage the lotion into your scalp.

I've been dealing with an itchy groin area for years now and I end up scratching it almost every day. The skin around there has turned really dark and there are blisters on my inner thighs. There's no pain when I scratch, but it's starting to smell down there, kind of like I haven't showered. Can you suggest a remedy?

I've got these scars on my face from using zalim lotion and I'm really worried about how to get rid of them. What should I do?

To remove the scars left on your face, you can try using a topical cream containing silicone gel, such as Mederma. Apply a thin layer of Mederma on the scars twice a day for at least 8 weeks to see improvement. Additionally, you can consider using a vitamin E cream, like Derma E Vitamin E 12,000 IU Cream, to help with scar healing. Make sure to follow the instructions on the packaging for best results.

I've got this problem with a rash in my groin area, and it's got tiny red pimples. The skin between my thighs and scrotum is torn and looks pretty red. It's been really itchy and has this burning sensation. I'm really looking for some home remedies to help with this. Also, can I still donate blood while dealing with this issue? Is it something serious? Would really appreciate some advice.
