Question 1

I'm having trouble finding Dipsalic F ointment at medical stores since they said it's not being made anymore. I've been using it for an allergic reaction, and nothing else I've tried is as effective. Can you suggest the best substitute for this ointment? I'm really concerned about finding something that works as well.

Accepted Answer

Since Dipsalic F ointment is unavailable, I'll suggest some alternatives with similar ingredients:

*Alternatives with Salicylic Acid and Urea*

1. *Ursal 10% Ointment*: Contains urea (10%) and salicylic acid (3%).
2. *Keralyt 5% Gel*: Has salicylic acid (5%) and urea (10%).
3. *Salex 6% Cream*: Contains salicylic acid (6%) and might be suitable for allergic areas.

*Other Options*

1. *CeraVe Renewing SA Cleanser*: A gentle cleanser with salicylic acid (2%) and hyaluronic acid.
2. *Eucerin Advanced Repair Cream*: A rich moisturizer with urea (10%) and ceramides

Question 2

I've noticed a tiny white seed-like thing just under the skin on the shaft of my penis, right below the head, for about 6 months now. It's not painful, hasn't changed or grown, and I can even move it around a bit under the skin. It's a bit smaller than a sunflower seed. Lots of people seem to have asked about this but I haven't found any clear answers. What could this be and is it something that can or should be removed?

Accepted Answer

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

Question 3

I'm 31 and recently started getting pimples on my face that come and go. They pop up on my nose and cheeks mainly, and they're kind of white. If I press them, a liquid comes out, and they usually disappear after about three days. I've never really used soap on my face, and I don't engage in activities like watching porn or masturbating every day. I'm just wondering why this is happening at my age. Can you help me figure it out?

Possible Causes of Pimples

1. Hormonal fluctuations: Changes in hormone levels, even in adulthood, can lead to acne.
2. Stress: Stress can increase cortisol levels, contributing to acne.
3. Diet: Consuming dairy products, refined carbohydrates, or foods high in sugar can trigger acne.
4. Genetics: Family history can play a role in acne development.
5. Environmental factors: Exposure to pollution, humidity, or certain chemicals can contribute to acne.

White Pimples with Liquid Discharge

The pimples you described, with a white color and liquid discharge, might be:

1. Pustules: A type of acne lesion filled with pus.
2. Milia: Small, white bumps caused by keratin buildup.
3. Sebaceous filaments: Naturally occurring, small bumps on the nose and cheeks.

Next Steps

1. Consult a dermatologist: For personalized guidance and treatment.
2. Maintain good skincare habits: Cleanse your face gently with a non-comedogenic cleanser, and moisturize regularly.
3. Avoid picking or squeezing pimples: To prevent further inflammation and scarring.
4. Consider lifestyle changes: Reduce stress, eat a balanced diet, and stay hydrated.

Please consult a board-certified plastic surgeon or an endocrinologist for personalized advice and guidance. They will assess your condition and recommend the best course of treatment.
