I've been using bio oil on my stretch marks for a few weeks now and I can slowly see results. I've got a question though. Is it okay to use bio oil on my face for massage? I've got acne-prone, sensitive combination skin. I'd love to massage my face once a week to boost blood flow and relax my muscles, but I'm worried about oils clogging my pores and causing more acne. I've heard from friends that bio oil helps with acne scars, so I'm curious if it's safe for facial use. If bio oil isn't suitable, could you recommend an appropriate oil for face massage? Would really appreciate your advice!

I've been dealing with a cracked foreskin because of a fungal infection, and I'm really worried about it. I've tried using Betamil GM ointment, but I haven't seen any improvement. Could you suggest the best medication or treatment for this issue? I'm kind of at a loss here and really need some guidance.

It seems like the fungal infection might require a more targeted treatment. I recommend consulting a doctor for an antifungal cream such as Clotrimazole or Miconazole, and potentially an oral antifungal if the infection is persistent. In the meantime, keep the area dry and avoid any irritation.
