I've been using Selsun shampoo to manage my dandruff, applying it about twice a week. I'm currently breastfeeding my baby and I'm a bit concerned. Is it alright to keep using Selsun while I'm breastfeeding, or is there any risk involved?

I've been dealing with dead skin on my penis foreskin for about a year now. There's a lot of itching and scratching in that area, and it's really uncomfortable. I've seen a skin specialist four times, and each time they've given me a different treatment. I've used Castellani's paint and AF 400 mg, then Daktar gel with AF 400 mg, and more recently, normal saline and Onabet for 15 days. But nothing's working, and I'm really worried. What do you think I should do next?

Since the previous treatments have not shown improvement, I recommend trying a combination of Clotrimazole cream (such as Canesten) twice daily on the affected area and taking Fluconazole 150 mg once a week for 4 weeks. Additionally, practicing good hygiene, keeping the area clean and dry, and avoiding irritants can also help in managing the condition.
