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'm a bit confused about how to use the Qsera hair serum my dermatologist recommended. Should I be applying it with my fingers directly on my scalp, or is it supposed to be sprayed all over my hair? My doctor mentioned something about spraying, but I'm not entirely sure.

Q-Sera hair serum is meant to be applied with fingers as suggested in the directions.
