I've been having these white patches on my scrotal area, and they're itching quite a bit. A friend mentioned it could be a fungal thing, so I tried using some anti-fungal powder. The itching's getting a bit better each day, but the white patches aren't really shrinking. What do you think I should do next?

It sounds like you may be dealing with a fungal infection such as jock itch. In addition to using an antifungal powder, you can also try using an antifungal cream like Clotrimazole 1% cream. Apply it to the affected area twice a day for about 2-4 weeks. Make sure to keep the area clean and dry. If the white patches do not improve or if they worsen, it would be best to consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation and management.

View allI'm curious about using Abzorb dusting powder regularly. Is it safe for everyday use? If not, what powder would you recommend that's safe for daily application?
Abzorb dusting powder is generally safe for everyday use, but for long-term daily usage, consider switching to a gentle, fragrance-free, and hypoallergenic powder like Johnson's Baby Powder or Cetaphil Dusting Powder to minimize skin irritation risks.

I've got these 4 tils on my left cheek and I'm really wondering if there's any way to get rid of them. I haven't tried any treatments or medicines yet. What do you suggest I should do? Is there a specific approach or medication that works best for something like this?
Facial moles, also known as til, can be treated with topical medications containing hydroquinone, tretinoin, and corticosteroids. One such medication is Melalite Cream, which contains hydroquinone. Apply a small amount of Melalite Cream on the til twice daily for several weeks. However, it is important to consult a dermatologist before starting any treatment to ensure proper diagnosis and management.

I'm really concerned about the pigmentation on my face since I stopped using the No Scar cream. Its really red and Im not sure what to do to make it better. Are there any treatments you would recommend to help with these side effects? Id really appreciate your advice.
To alleviate face pigmentation and redness caused by No Scar cream, apply a topical treatment like Kojic acid, vitamin C serum, or niacinamide cream, and consider consulting a dermatologist for personalized advice, laser therapy, or chemical peels to help reduce hyperpigmentation and promote even skin tone.
