I've got a question about Perlice Lotion. Dr. Aamir Siddiqui suggested it for my mom when she had dandruff and lice a few months ago. I'm wondering if it's okay to use it again or if there's a better option now. What do you think?

View allI'm really worried about the dark spots at the corners of my lips, and I was wondering if there's any cream that might help. One doctor suggested I try using Lip Bless, but I'm still unsure if that'll do the trick. I'm getting married soon, so I'm quite stressed about it. I don't smoke or drink, and I make sure to drink plenty of water, eat fruits rich in vitamin C, and scrub regularly. Plus, I rarely spend time in the sun. Do you have any advice on what might help brighten up the corners of my lips?
You can use butter based lipbalms,this needs evaluation as it could be fungal infection or vitamin deficiency too,visit Dermatologist for appropriate managemnet

I've been dealing with chickenpox and noticed now that my entire body is itching, even in places where there are no rashes. It's been 12 days since I first noticed the symptoms. Is this normal or could it be something else?
It is normal to experience itching even in areas where there are no chickenpox rashes during the recovery phase. To help alleviate the itching, you can take an antihistamine such as Cetirizine 10mg once daily. Additionally, you can apply Calamine lotion to the affected areas for relief. Make sure to stay hydrated and avoid scratching to prevent any potential skin infections.

I'm having this really annoying issue where my scrotum gets super itchy, especially at night. It's been happening for a few months now. The itchiness kind of eases up after I rub it, but it also seems to make it more prone to itching later on. What could be causing this, and should I be worried?
An itchy scrotum can be uncomfortable and concerning. Possible Causes 1. Jock Itch (Tinea Cruris): A fungal infection that thrives in warm, moist environments. 2. Seborrheic Dermatitis: A skin condition causing scaly, itchy, and red patches. 3. Eczema (Atopic Dermatitis): A chronic skin condition characterized by dry, itchy, and inflamed skin. 4. Contact Dermatitis: An allergic reaction or irritation caused by soaps, detergents, or other substances. 5. Scabies: A parasitic infection caused by the scabies mite. 6. Nutritional Deficiencies: Deficiencies in vitamins like B12 or minerals like zinc can cause itchy skin. Symptoms and Characteristics 1. Itching worsens at night: This is common in cases of jock itch, scabies, or eczema. 2. Itching reduces after rubbing: This might provide temporary relief but can also lead to further irritation and itching. 3. Itch-prone skin: This could be a sign of an underlying skin condition or allergy. What to Do Next 1. Consult a Doctor: Schedule an appointment with your primary care physician or a dermatologist to determine the underlying cause of your itchy scrotum. 2. Keep the Area Clean and Dry: Practice good hygiene, and avoid sharing personal care items. 3. Avoid Scratching and Rubbing: Try to resist the urge to scratch or rub the affected area, as this can exacerbate the condition. 4. Apply Topical Creams or Ointments: Over-the-counter creams or ointments, such as hydrocortisone or calamine lotion, can help soothe the skin and reduce itching. 5. Consider Antifungal or Antibacterial Treatments: If your doctor suspects a fungal or bacterial infection, they may prescribe antifungal or antibacterial medications
