I'm struggling with my curly and dry hair, and I'm on the lookout for a good shampoo and conditioner. I've heard that it's important for these products to be paraben and SLS free, and Im wondering if that's really necessary or if sticking to a reputable brand would be just as effective. What do dermatologists generally think about using paraben and SLS-free products?

I've just threaded my upper lip for the first time and now there's this weird white patch against my brown skin. It's really upsetting me. Bleaching hasn't helped at all, and I'm worried that if the hair grows back, it'll be thicker and darker, which then seems like I'll have to deal with this all over again. What should I do to get rid of this white patch? Any advice?

I've been dealing with this annoying itch on my right butt cheek. It's kind of embarrassing to see a doctor in person about it. Could you suggest an ointment or gel that might help me get rid of it?

I recommend using hydrocortisone cream 1% for the itching on your right butt cheek. Apply a thin layer of the cream to the affected area twice a day for up to 7 days. Make sure to wash your hands before and after applying the cream.
