I'm worried about using sunscreen because I have acne scars and large pores. Plus, my skin is really sensitive and Im quite fair-skinned. Is there a sunscreen that's gentle enough and won't make my acne worse or cause any other side effects? Any advice would be appreciated!

I'm dealing with a situation where my scrotum is constantly wet, and while there's no itching, it's making me pretty uncomfortable. Can you suggest what medication or treatment might help with this?

You can try using an antiperspirant specifically designed for sensitive areas like the scrotum. Apply a thin layer to the affected area once daily before bedtime. This can help reduce sweating and keep the area dry and comfortable.

I'm a bit worried about my dad; he started using scabidol ointment for some antibacterial infections, but after about a week, he noticed white patches on the skin where he applied it. Is this something normal, or should we be concerned? What should we do next?

Contact Dermatitis: Your father may have developed contact dermatitis, an allergic reaction to one of the ingredients in the ointment. 3.

I was combing my son's hair today and noticed these small black spots on his scalp. They seem dry and come out with his hair when I comb it harder. He hasn't mentioned any itching or pain, but I'm kind of worried. What could these spots be, and should I do anything about it?

That could be Dermatophytic infection, wash his scalp regularly and avoid scratching, visit Dermatologist for appropriate management.
