I've been really struggling with severe discoloration and dryness on my skin for the past five years. I'm curious about skin whitening treatments or skin polishing. Can you explain the procedures and what kind of results I might expect? Also, how much does it typically cost?

View allI'm struggling with persistent irritation and itchiness in my groin area, especially after long drives in hot and humid conditions. Initially, keeping the area dry and using Candid Clotrimazole powder would help, but now it seems to have become a recurring issue. The skin's darker with some scaling, and the itchiness and burning sensation return if I skip a bath or don't use the powder every 12 hours. I'm wearing loose clothing and trying to keep the area as dry as possible, but I'm not seeing any permanent relief. What can I do to completely get rid of this problem?
That could be fungal infection which needs both oral and topical antifungal medications and personal hygiene is more important for such condition.

I'm wondering if it's okay to use halox lotion for my dandruff and then apply minoxidil afterward every day. I'm really trying to manage both my dandruff and hair growth, but I'm a bit worried if using both these products so close together might cause any problems. What do you think?
itis generally safe to use both Halox lotion and minoxidil if applied at different times, but its important to: Wait a while (30 minutes to 1 hour) between the applications. Use the steroid lotion only as directed to avoid overuse or skin thinning. Consult your doctor to ensure the combination is appropriate for your situation.

I accidentally got some dettol on my forehead today, and now I've got this dark mark. It doesnt hurt or anything, but it just looks terrible. I'm already getting treatment for pimples, but my doctor is out of town. Can you tell me how long it might take for this mark to heal?
You can apply an antibiotic ointment like Silverex cream twice a day to prevent infection. Additionally, you can use a scar removal gel like Contractubex to help reduce the appearance of the dark mark. It usually takes about 1-2 weeks for minor burns to heal, but the dark mark may take longer to fade. Make sure to protect the area from sun exposure to prevent further darkening of the mark.
