I'm really worried about my skin getting tanner every day. I have naturally tan skin and I'm wondering how I can reduce the melanin to achieve a fairer complexion. Is there anything I can do or any treatments that might help with this?

I'm really worried about my lips being super dry and chapped lately. I've been using lip balm twice a day, but it doesn't seem to help. Could it be because we leave the fan on high speed all night? Any ideas on what might be causing this?

Kozicare cream is advised.Side-effects include itching and hypersensitivity reactions

I've got a bit of a problem with eczema on my scrotum and my dermatologist told me to use Mometasone Furoate Cream IP ELOCON every night. But when I looked it up, I read that it shouldn't be used on the groin area. It hurt a little at first but seemed to get better after that. I'm just really concerned and wondering if it's okay to keep using this cream. Could it affect sperm production since Im applying it directly on the scrotum? I'm pretty worried about this.

Clopivate cream for local application is advise for 7 days, if any side -effects dermatologist opinion is advised .
