I've had pigment on my face for a few years now and a friend mentioned her mom used clobetamil g and saw great results with her pigment fading. I'm wondering, is it safe for me to try clobetamil g too? Are there any other options I should consider?

I've had a cyst on my head for the past two years and have been using homeopathy to manage it. The size goes down when I take the medicine but starts growing again if I stop. Could this be cancer? Should I consider surgery? My family is really worried about this

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
