I've been using Betnovate cream for the last few months, maybe around 2 to 3 months, and when I stopped, I had a really bad breakout. Plus, I noticed my facial hair has increased a lot. What should I do?

I've been dealing with an itching issue in my private area, and it's really starting to affect me. I'm also noticing a change in my skin color there, and it's pretty worrying. I'd love to hear which doctor you would recommend for something like this. I just want my skin back to its normal state.

Sounds like a fungal infection. Candid-B cream for local application, used 2-3 times a day, including before bedtime might be helpful for you. For skin lightening and scar repair, you can use Melalite cream. If the itching persists or worsens, seek a dermatologist consult.

I've been dealing with scabies for about a week now, and I've been using benzyl benzoate 25 on my body. I've avoided my face and penis area, but now I've noticed some small red bumps on the head of my penis. Is it safe to apply the cream there, or should I try something else? I'm a bit worried about what to do next.

No it is not advised.
