I'm wondering if it's okay to use Glocin gel during the day. Is there any issue with going outside after applying it during daylight hours? Can I use it twice a day? I've noticed small bumps, rough skin, and some fine lines on my forehead. I'm a 45-year-old woman and I'd appreciate any advice.

Niacinamide is present in the cream whichnoxidises with sunlight hence it must be used as night cream and it helps for your condition.

I'm experiencing some peeling and cracking on the skin of my penile head, and I'm not quite sure what's causing it. Could you tell me what the treatment might be for this?

Possible Causes* 1. *Balanitis*: Inflammation of the glans penis, often caused by poor hygiene, allergies, or infections. 2. *Dry skin*: Harsh soaps, excessive washing, or cold weather can cause dryness and cracking. 3. *EczemaDermatitis*: Skin conditions that can cause inflammation, dryness, and cracking. 4. *Psoriasis*: An autoimmune condition that can cause skin cell buildup, leading to scaling and cracking. 5. *Fungal or bacterial infections*: Such as candidiasis or bacterial balanitis. *Treatment Options* 1. *Topical creams*: Over-the-counter (OTC) or prescription creams, such as hydrocortisone, can help reduce inflammation and itching. 2. *Antifungal or antibacterial medications*: If an infection is suspected, your doctor may prescribe medication to treat it. 3. *Moisturizers*: Keeping the area moisturized can help alleviate dryness and cracking. 4. *Good hygiene practices*: Gently wash the area with mild soap and lukewarm water.

I'm really confused about the order in which I should apply my skincare medications for acne. I've got three different ones: Lotion Doux moisturizing lotion, UV Doux sunscreen, and Aziderm for dark spots. The Aziderm feels really drying on my skin, so I'm not sure if it should go first or last. Could you help me figure out the right order to apply them all?

Aziderms,moisturize,sunscreen,use them in this order,two times a day

I'm noticing something that looks like perioral dermatitis around my mouth and chin. The only change in my life recently is that I moved to a new place with really hard water. Could the water be causing this? Also, I tried using lotion but it just made things flakier and scalier. I even used a prescription steroid cream and that didnt seem to work either. What do you think might be happening?

yes
