I've been noticing there's a white spot on one of my nails lately. I have diabetes and hypertension, so I'm a bit worried. Could this be related, and how can I treat it? What would you suggest I do next?

I've noticed these two small lumps under my left armpit. At first, they seemed like pimples under the skin, but they got worse and swollen after I applied some Tiger Balm and pressed on them. I'm a bit worried about what this could be. Could you give me some advice?

I've got this cut or rash on my testicles from playing outside in the heat, and I'm wondering if it's okay to use clindamycin and adapalene gel on it since I know they're antibiotics. Is this the right thing to use, or should I try something else?

no problem you can take

Can I use Emolene cream as my daily moisturizer? I've got super sensitive skin, and even natural products seem to irritate it. Also, is it okay to put sunscreen on top of the Emolene cream? Would love some advice on this.

SPF 3O is advised to the patient.
