I'm struggling with blackheads and enlarged pores, and my combination skin isn't making things easier. My T-zone gets pretty oily, while other areas are quite dry. I'm considering using Sebamed cleansing facial foam and the deep cleansing facial toner. Do you think these could help with reducing blackheads and minimizing pores? Would love some guidance on this!

Sebamed cleansing facial foam and Sebamed deep cleansing facial toner are good choices for reducing blackheads and minimizing pores. For your combination skin with a very oily T-zone and dry other parts, I recommend using Sebamed cleansing facial foam twice a day to cleanse your face. Follow up with Sebamed deep cleansing facial toner to help tighten pores and control excess oil production.

I'm dealing with some serious itching and irritation around my pubic area, and I'm really worried. There are these white or grey spots with light pink in between, and the skin looks different from the surrounding area. It seems like this is spreading to my groin and even affecting my scrotum, which also feels infected. It's really covering a good part of the area between my thighs, and the itching is just unbearable. What could this be, and how should I handle it?

That looks like fungal infection which needs oral and topical antifungal medication and personal hygiene is the main stay, visit Dermatologist for appropriate management.
