I'm struggling with being really thin, almost underweight, and it's been tough because I really want to gain some weight. I've tried things like eating small meals and adding fruit juices, but nothing seems to work. I thought about using a mass gainer like Endura Mass, but every time I use stuff like that or even multivitamins, I get bad acne. I feel like using a mass gainer is my last option, but I'm worried about the acne coming back. Any advice on what I can do?

While mass gainers are an option, it's important to select the right type and ingredients that suit your body. Focus on whole food sources, consider low-acne-risk alternatives for supplements, and maintain good skincare to balance both weight gain and skin health. Consulting professionals for personalized plans is always a good idea.

View allI've been having this annoying allergy on my face for the past couple of days. It all started after I used this Lotus sunscreen with SPF 40. My skin just started itching and it feels like an allergy. I'm wondering if it's okay to take Avil or levocetirizine to help with this? Any advice would be appreciated.
-Its possible that the sunscreen triggered the allergy. Both Avil and Levocetirizine can help with itching, but Levocetirizine is usually preferred as it's less sedating. If symptoms persist or worsen, consider consulting a doctor for a proper assessme

I've been dealing with dead skin on my penis foreskin for about a year now. There's a lot of itching and scratching in that area, and it's really uncomfortable. I've seen a skin specialist four times, and each time they've given me a different treatment. I've used Castellani's paint and AF 400 mg, then Daktar gel with AF 400 mg, and more recently, normal saline and Onabet for 15 days. But nothing's working, and I'm really worried. What do you think I should do next?
Since the previous treatments have not shown improvement, I recommend trying a combination of Clotrimazole cream (such as Canesten) twice daily on the affected area and taking Fluconazole 150 mg once a week for 4 weeks. Additionally, practicing good hygiene, keeping the area clean and dry, and avoiding irritants can also help in managing the condition.
