I'm using hand sanitizer to clean my earphones, and now I'm a bit worried. Are they safe to put in my ears? My ears have been really itchy lately. And should I be doing something different to disinfect my earphones safely?

Clean your ears gently using a damp cloth or cotton swabs if necessary, but avoid inserting anything deep into the ear canal.

I've got this really frustrating red rash on my thigh near the private area. I tried using Miconazole nitrate with fluocinolone acetonide cream, but it doesn't seem to be helping at all. The first time I had this rash, I used dermi ford cream, and it cleared up, but now the rash has come back. Any idea what I should do next?

I've been using Santoor soap, but my skin just isn't glowing like I want it to. Could you recommend the best whitening or fairness soap for someone with oily skin? I'm really looking for something that can work wonders for me.

For oily skin and skin whitening, I recommend using Kojie San Skin Lightening Soap. It contains kojic acid which helps in skin whitening and brightening. Use it twice a day for best results.
