View allI've been dealing with a mild itch around my anus, so I put some Dettol on it. Now it's a bit swollen and there's this weird sticky feeling that won't go away, even after I clean it with water. There's no pain, though. Could Dettol have caused this, or is it just something from the itch itself? What can I do to get rid of that sticky sensation?
Discontinue using Dettol, as it can be too harsh for anal skin, and instead, try the following to alleviate the sticky feeling and swelling: clean the area gently with warm water; apply a fragrance-free, hypoallergenic soap or a mild cleanser specifically designed for anal care; pat dry, avoiding rubbing or scratching; apply a thin layer of a soothing cream or ointment, such as hydrocortisone or aloe vera gel; and consider taking an oral antihistamine or applying a topical antihistamine cream to reduce itching and inflammation.

I've been using Betnovate cream on my face for about a year, but then I found out it has steroids, so I stopped. Now my face seems way darker compared to the rest of my body. What can I do to fix this, and should I see a specific type of specialist? I'm really worried about how my skin looks.

I'm 29 and dealing with baldness, and I'm considering hair transplantation. I don't know much about the process, though. Could you tell me about any side effects or other important details I should be aware of?
Hair transplant may not be the immediate or only solution for you. Consider medical treatments like minoxidil, finasteride, or PRP first, as they can slow or even reverse hair loss. You are too young for a transplant, but its usually best to wait until your hair loss pattern is more stable.
