I've noticed a dry patch and peeling on my left scrotum, kind of like a dandruff scalp. It got worse for a bit and then stopped. Now the skin feels a bit harder, looks lighter, and has these small boils. Any idea what could be causing this?

Consult a healthcare provider or a dermatologist to get an accurate diagnosis, especially since you've noticed a change in the skin texture and color. Avoid scratching or irritating the area further as it can worsen the condition. Proper hygiene: Keep the area clean and dry to prevent infection. If it is a fungal or bacterial infection, your doctor may recommend appropriate medications.

I've been using Santoor soap, but my skin just isn't glowing like I want it to. Could you recommend the best whitening or fairness soap for someone with oily skin? I'm really looking for something that can work wonders for me.

For oily skin and skin whitening, I recommend using Kojie San Skin Lightening Soap. It contains kojic acid which helps in skin whitening and brightening. Use it twice a day for best results.
