I've been experiencing some really uncomfortable itching between my legs, near my private area. It started a few days ago and has spread a bit. Sometimes the urge to scratch becomes hard to resist, but it only makes things worse. I've been using moisturizer and Boroline antiseptic cream, and I wash the area regularly with soap. Could you recommend a cream to help with this and any precautions I should be taking? Also, is there something I'm doing wrong with my current routine?

Based on your description, it sounds like you may be experiencing a fungal infection in the groin area, also known as jock itch. To treat this, I recommend using an antifungal cream such as Clotrimazole cream twice a day for 2-4 weeks. Additionally, you should keep the area clean and dry, wear loose-fitting cotton underwear, and avoid sharing towels or clothing with others to prevent spreading the infection.

View allI've been using Melas cream for over a month, but I recently stopped because my skin keeps peeling. I'm really worried about how to get my skin back to normal. Do you have any recommendation on which cream might help with the recovery?
After stopping the use of Melas, it is important to allow your skin to recover. You can use a gentle moisturizing cream containing ingredients like aloe vera or hyaluronic acid to help soothe and hydrate your skin. Additionally, you can use a mild steroid cream like hydrocortisone 1% to reduce inflammation and promote healing. Make sure to apply these creams as directed by the manufacturer or your healthcare provider. It is also important to protect your skin from further damage by avoiding sun exposure and using a broad-spectrum sunscreen.

I applied a honey mask to my face, and after 15 minutes, I washed it off. Then, about two hours later, I went to a parlor for eyebrow plucking and noticed I had a white hair in my eyebrows. I'm worried now. The lady at the parlor said the honey might have caused the hair to turn white. Is there any truth to that?
No, honey does not make hair turn white. Honey is often used in hair masks and treatments to moisturize and nourish the hair. If you are experiencing premature graying of hair, it is recommended to consult with a dermatologist for proper evaluation and treatment.
