I'm thinking about starting a vitamin C supplement to help with my skin, but I'm not sure which tablets are good. Also, how long would I be able to take them safely?

View allCan I put betanovate gm cream on my genital area? My scrotum and penis are itching really bad. I tried setrabate after an online doctor recommended it, but the itching hasn't stopped. The doctor also suggested betanovate gm or hhzole, but the pharmacist said betanovate gm is better. I'm also using candidforce 100, which helps with the itch, but when I stop, the itching comes back, and it makes me feel like cutting things off. Any advice on what I should do?
Continue all the medications, hhzole cream for local application for 2-3 weeks, tab canditral 100mg once daily for 3 weeks and tab levocetrizine 10 mg at bedtime for 7 days after food.

Generally safe for use on the face, but like any skincare product, it may cause side effects in some individuals. Some common side effects that may occur include skin irritation, redness, or dryness. It is always recommended to do a patch test before applying any new product on your face.

I've noticed some spots on my scrotum and also on the shaft of my penis. After checking online, they look a lot like Fordyce spots, but I'm a bit worried it could be something else. Could you tell me what they might be and if I should be concerned?
