I've been dealing with this itching problem all over my body for about a month now, and I'm really not sure what to do next. I tried using Dettol and itch guard, but they haven't helped. It's pretty frustrating. Any idea what might be causing this or what I should try next?

Itching for a month could be due to allergies, dry skin, infections, or other underlying issues. Avoid scratching, keep your skin moisturized, and wear loose, breathable clothes. Since Dettol and itch guard didnt help, consult a dermatologist to identify the cause and get proper treatment. Avoid self-medicating further.

I'm experiencing these small cracks on the skin of my penis every few months, which makes it painful and difficult to get an erection or have sex. I've tried using Nizral and Nadoxin creams but haven't seen any improvement. Can you help me understand why this is happening and how I can prevent it?

I've been dealing with pigmentation on both sides of my face and it's quite noticeable, especially since my job involves a lot of public interaction. I've been using Pineglow cream at night and Sun Cross Ultra cream during the day, but Im really concerned about how long it might take to see any improvement. Could you let me know if I'm on the right track or suggest anything else that might help? The pigmentation makes me pretty self-conscious.

I'm 34 and have had dermatitis for about 15 years. Over the years, I've seen quite a few dermatologists and gotten different treatments, but they only seem to give me temporary relief. I've noticed that every time I get my IgE levels checked, they're always above 5000. I'm starting to worry about what this could mean for my health in the long run. Could these high IgE levels affect my other organs or lead to other diseases?

yes u can use it, visit ur physician for apprpropriate managent
