I've been dealing with these persistent acne bumps on my nose since I was 21, and I'm 28 now. Some of them have turned into these stubborn, bumpy scars that make my nose feel rough. They seem pretty hard too. What could be causing this, and is there anything I can do to smooth out these scars?

I'm looking for an ointment to treat jock itch but I really need one without menthol or any cooling agents. I've tried some before that had those and it wasn't a pleasant experience. Do you have any good recommendations?

You can try using Clotrimazole cream, which is effective in treating jock itch. Apply a thin layer of Clotrimazole cream to the affected area twice a day for 2-4 weeks.

I've been using Hyervita shampoo lately and now I can't seem to find it anywhere. Can you suggest a good alternative that's kind of similar? I'm a bit worried because it worked well for me, and I don't want to switch to something that might not suit my hair.

You can try using Nizoral shampoo, which contains ketoconazole. It is effective for treating dandruff and other scalp conditions. Use it twice a week for best results.
