I'm thinking about trying a Vitamin C and hyaluronic acid serum for my dull and pigmented skin because a friend recommended it. My face has quite a few marks, and I'm really hoping this might help. But I'm just a bit worried and want to know if it's safe to use. Are there any specific brands you would recommend?

View allI've noticed some wrinkles on my penis foreskin, and it has tears all around. Whenever I try to open it, it just closes back up, plus it feels pretty dry. It all started with just one tear. What's going on, and should I be worried?

I've been noticing this white powder under my nails whenever I scrape my scalp. It's not itchy, and I don't see flakes or dandruff. I shower daily, so I'm quite clean. The powder is a bit waxy. Is this just sebum, or could it be something unusual? Is this normal for scalp skin and only becomes visible after scraping?
The white powder you are noticing when you scrape your scalp is likely sebum mixed with dead skin cells. Sebum is an oily substance produced by the sebaceous glands in the skin, including the scalp. It is normal for sebum to be present on the scalp to help keep the skin and hair moisturized. When sebum mixes with dead skin cells and other debris, it can form a slightly waxy substance that becomes visible when you scrape your scalp. This is a normal occurrence and is not necessarily abnormal. However, if you notice any changes in the color, texture, or odor of the white powder, or if you experience any other symptoms such as itching, redness, or inflammation, it is advisable to consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation and advice."

I'm really curious about whether melanin treatment for achieving fairer skin is actually safe. Could you tell me how long the process usually takes and what the cost might be? Also, have you ever carried out skin whitening treatments using melanin? I'm a bit worried and would love to know if I can undergo this treatment and what possible side effects there could be.
These is a vague terminology and makes no sense. Kindly do not fall into the hands of such therapists. I think no Dermatologist will recommend you something like this. Basically there are depigmentation treatment protocols which modify melanocytes functioning in an orchestrated manner that results in a healthier and better skin tone, This could be a chemical peel, rejuvenation skin lasers or mesotherapy and PRP therapy. Meet a qualified dermatologist in person near you to understand these in more details.
