I'm trying to deal with some acne scars, and my dermatologist recommended nirvalyte gel. But unfortunately, I can't find it anywhere. Do you have any suggestions for other treatments? The pigmentation is just a bit, but the scars are more of the pitting type. I'm curious if there's something else that might help!

You can consider using a topical retinoid cream such as Retin-A (tretinoin) gel. Apply a pea-sized amount to the affected areas at night. Additionally, you can also try using a vitamin C serum to help with pigmentation. Make sure to use a sunscreen during the day to protect your skin. If these treatments do not show significant improvement, you may consider procedures like microdermabrasion or laser therapy after consulting with a dermatologist.

I recently got my hair smoothened and I've been reading up on aftercare. A doctor mentioned Keraglo eva tablets might be a good idea, but I'm worried about any major side effects. Do you think it's safe to take these tablets?
Keraglo Eva is a combination of vitamins and minerals that promote hair growth and improve hair quality. It is generally safe to use and does not cause major side effects when taken at the recommended dosage. You can take 1 tablet of Keraglo Eva daily after meals for best results.

I've been dealing with itchy testicles for a year now, and it's really getting worse. I make sure to clean my genital area daily, but it tends to be dry. I've tried everythingaloe moisturizers, Vera gel, soframycin oilbut nothing seems to work for long. I get some temporary relief, but the itching is really bad at midnight, early morning, or after going to the office gym. Can you suggest any medicine or ointment that might help with this?
For persistent testicular itchiness, consider consulting a dermatologist or urologist to rule out underlying conditions like eczema, psoriasis, or fungal infections; in the meantime, try applying a hydrocortisone cream (1%) or an antifungal cream like clotrimazole, and maintain good genital hygiene, avoiding harsh soaps and wearing breathable clothing, and if the issue persists, your doctor may prescribe stronger topical or oral medications.
