I've got this really painful issue down there. I had a skin tag and someone suggested I use garlic paste on it. But now, my anus and the area around it are badly burned, and it's super painful. The skin turned white and red in places. I'm not sure what to do about it, and I'm really worried. Can you advise me on how to deal with this?

I'm dealing with a dry skin issue that persists even during the summer, and if I forget to use moisturizer, the situation becomes quite severe. I've already seen a few doctors around here, but unfortunately, I haven't noticed any improvement. After doing some research online, I found that my symptoms align with ichthyosis vulgaris, and I'm really worried about this condition. Could you offer some advice or guidance?
Ichthyosis vulgaris is a possible cause of your dry skin symptoms, and consulting a dermatologist for a definitive diagnosis and personalized guidance is crucial; in the meantime, consider these general tips to help manage dry skin: use gentle, fragrance-free cleansers, apply moisturizers immediately after bathing, use humidifiers to maintain a humid environment, avoid harsh soaps and exfoliants, and wear breathable clothing; also, explore over-the-counter (OTC) treatments containing urea, hyaluronic acid, or ceramides, which can help lock in moisture and soothe dry ski
