I'm really struggling to find a safe night cream because my skin is sensitive and has a dusky tone. Is it okay to use Lacto Calamine? If it's not the best option, could you suggest some safer alternatives? I'm just worried about causing any irritation or breakouts.

Lacto Calamine can be safe to use for sensitive skin, but it may not be suitable for everyone. If you are looking for safer substitutes, you can consider using Cetaphil Moisturizing Cream or Aveeno Daily Moisturizing Lotion. These are gentle on the skin and can help with hydration without causing irritation. Apply a thin layer of the moisturizer on your face at night before going to bed for best results.

I'm dealing with these blood blisters on my scrotum that I think might be angiokeratomas. They get a bit painful and irritating when I touch them. I'm really hoping to handle this on my own at home, maybe with a cream or something, because I'd rather not involve anyone else. Is RF ablation the only way to get rid of these, or do you have any advice on what else I might try?

I'm curious if applying oil to my hair is really necessary. Does it help with hair regrowth or offer any benefits? Could you explain a bit more about this?

Applying oil to the scalp can help improve the health of the hair and scalp. It can help moisturize the scalp, reduce dandruff, and improve the overall condition of the hair. However, there is limited scientific evidence to support the claim that applying oil alone can regrow hair. For hair regrowth, it is recommended to use medications like Minoxidil solution 5% applied twice daily on the scalp. This medication has been shown to promote hair regrowth in some individuals.
