I'm trying to figure out the best way to use lacto calamine and sunscreen since I have slightly oily skin. Should I put on the lacto calamine before or after the sunscreen for better protection? I'm a bit confused about the right order and don't want to mess it up.

View allI'm dealing with a Vitamin D deficiency and white patches on my skin, so I've started taking Vit D MGD3 tablets once a week and Calcium tablets every other day, as advised by my doctor. But now after about 23 days, I'm getting really bad mouth ulcers. I've even switched the brand of the tablets and consulted different doctors three times, but the ulcers keep coming back as soon as I start these medicines. What do you think is causing this, and what should I do?

I've been dealing with a fungal infection on my penis for a few months now. I saw my GP and they gave me Daktarin cream, which really helped with the symptoms. But now I've run out and I'm noticing the dry skin coming back. I got prescribed Daktacort cream this time, but it says not to use it on the genital area. Is it actually safe to use there? Also, since it's just mild dry skin at this point, could using shea butter as a moisturizer be a good idea?
Daktacort cream contains an antifungal (miconazole) and a mild corticosteroid (hydrocortisone) which can be effective for fungal infections. However, it is not recommended for use on the genital region due to the presence of the corticosteroid which can cause thinning of the skin in that area. It is best to consult your healthcare provider for an alternative treatment for your genital fungal infection. As for using shea butter as a moisturizer for mild dry skin, it can be a good option as shea butter is known for its moisturizing properties.
