I'm really struggling with my skin during the winter months. It turns really dark and dry, and oddly enough, it actually gets even darker when I use moisturizers. To top it off, I start breaking out with pimples too. It's so frustrating, because my skin is completely fine in the summersmooth, bright, and pimple-free. I'm based in Delhi, if that makes any difference. Could you help me figure out what's going on and what I can do about it?

I'm curious about the combination of using Zydip lotion with coconut oil for hair growth and Nintop lotion in the morning. Is it safe to use them together, and do you think it might actually help with hair growth? I've also heard mixed things, so I'm kind of worried. What should I expect, and are there any side effects I should watch out for?

It sounds like your doctor has put together a comprehensive treatment plan to help with hair regrowth, and Zydip lotion with coconut oil combined with Nintop is a solid approach. Stick with the treatment as directed, and make sure to consult your doctor if you notice any unwanted side effects or if the hair thinning continues.

I'm really worried because there's something awful going on with my scrotum. It's a terrible rash, and the area looks like it doesn't have any skin left. It's really painful. Can you please tell me what might be happening and how I can deal with this?

Dermat opinion is advised to the patient.
