I've been using a soap with gold, glutathione, and kojic acid for a while now, but I'm not sure if it's okay to use it long-term. Also, I'm confused about which skin whitening cream would work best for me. Could you help me figure this out?

I'm working the night shift and dealing with some unbearable jock itch, the itching and pain are really getting to me. Could you recommend any medicine that might help?

I'm 18 and feeling worried about my nipples. They're brown and seem cracked, and I'm scared the cracks might mean something's wrong or that they could fall off. I've never been pregnant or had kids, so I don't know if this is normal. Any idea what might be going on?
You may be experiencing a condition called nipple fissures, which can be caused by various factors such as dry skin, friction, or certain skin conditions. To help with the cracked and brown appearance of your nipples, you can try using a lanolin-based nipple cream like Lansinoh Lanolin Nipple Cream. Apply a small amount after showering and before bedtime to help moisturize and protect the skin.
