I'm really worried about my husband's skin issues. He's been experiencing a lot of dryness and cracking in his groin area and under the scrotum. We've tried using Vaseline and coconut oil, but nothing seems to be helping. Could you please advise us on what to do next?

I've got these white and black patches popping up around my neck, chest, and back. Someone mentioned it might be sobi, a skin disease? I'm really worried and just need some advice on which ointments could help treat both types of patches. Any suggestions would be appreciated. What should I be looking out for in terms of symptoms or treatments?

For white patches, you can use Tacrolimus ointment twice daily on the affected areas. For black patches, you can use Hydroquinone cream once daily on the affected areas. Make sure to apply a thin layer of the ointment or cream and gently massage it into the skin.
