I've been noticing a white layer forming on the head of my penis, and it feels pretty dry under the foreskin. When I try to pull the skin back, it sticks a bit. A few months ago, I was treated for a fungal infection, and I thought it had cleared up, but now I'm not so sure. Could this be a sign that I have diabetes?

You may be experiencing a recurrence of a fungal infection. You can try using an antifungal cream like Clotrimazole 1% twice a day for 2 weeks. Make sure to keep the area clean and dry. As for diabetes, the presence of a fungal infection does not necessarily mean you have diabetes, but it is always a good idea to get your blood sugar levels checked by a healthcare provider to rule out any underlying conditions.

View allI've recently seen a dermatologist and they prescribed me Resoten 20, along with some moisturizers and lip balm. I've heard that this medication can make acne look worse before it starts to improve. Should I stick with the 20mg, or do you think a stronger dose might be necessary for my mild to severe acne? Also, is there a more affordable option for Isotretinoin capsules than Resoten 20?
.Acne or pimples... Due to hormonal changes..Oily skin causes it...Common in adolescent age...May occur in adults also.. Food like Oily foods, ice cream, chocolate and sweets increase it.. Treatment depends on the grade of pimples or acne

I've been wondering how often I can safely use Venusia cream in a day, and also what's the best way to apply it on my face?
-You can apply Venusia cream 2-3 times a day on your face. Gently massage a small amount into clean, dry skin, focusing on dry or irritated areas.

I've noticed some changes in my skin color with different soaps. Normally, my skin tone is cream-colored, but using Santoor soap seemed to make it lighter and better. However, when I switched to Mysore Sandal soap, my skin started looking darker. Someone mentioned that Santoor soap is meant for women, so I stopped using it. Can you suggest a different soap that might help my skin get back to its original color? I'm really curious and a bit concerned about how this keeps happening.
Soap preference can be personal and skin-type dependent. To help you find a suitable soap, consider the following: 1. _Look for soaps with natural ingredients_: Soaps containing ingredients like coconut oil, olive oil, or shea butter can be gentle and nourishing. 2. _Avoid harsh soaps_: Soaps with high pH levels or containing harsh chemicals can strip your skin of its natural oils, leading to dryness and darkening. 3. _Opt for fragrance-free or hypoallergenic soaps_: These soaps are less likely to contain irritating ingredients that can affect your skin tone. Some soap options you can consider: 1. _Dove Sensitive Skin Beauty Bar_ 2. _Nivea Soft Moisturizing Soap_ 3. _Cetaphil Gentle Skin Cleanser_ 4. _Himalaya Herbals Gentle Bathing Soap_
