I've noticed that over the past couple of years, my ear lobes and knuckles have become much darker than the rest of my skin. It's quite noticeable and I'm a bit concerned about it. Can you recommend a cream or treatment that could help lighten this discoloration?

Darkening of the skin in these areas could be due to various reasons such as friction, sun exposure, or hormonal changes. To lighten the complexion of your ear lobes and knuckles, you can use a cream containing hydroquinone, kojic acid, and glycolic acid. One option is to use a cream like "Melalite Forte Cream" which contains hydroquinone. Apply a thin layer of the cream on the affected areas once daily at night. Additionally, using a sunscreen with a high SPF during the day can help prevent further darkening of the skin.

View allI'm dealing with hair loss, dandruff, and an itchy scalp, and a dermatologist at DHI suggested I try keraglo men. I'm worried and have some questions about it. First, is it really safe to take keraglo men? If I decide to stop, will there be any side effects? Are there any other supplements I should consider using alongside it, and what happens if I stop them too? I'm also curious if I can take Becosules along with keraglo men. Id appreciate any additional insight you might have.
Dont worry you are in right way follow your doctors advice and yes you cantake vitamin supplements its good

My wife has this scar on her faceit's right above her left eyebrow. Sometimes she experiences this sharp pain like a needle prick, and there's even a small wound under the eyebrow. We were told by a doctor to use Tbact Ointment cream to help with the scar, but we're curious if there's any other treatment out there that could reduce the scar besides opting for plastic surgery.

I'm really struggling with some serious itching around my groin, and it seems to get worse when things get wet down there. I've tried a bunch of creams, but the itching just keeps coming back, and every time I scratch, it ends up bruising and hurting even more. It's spreading, and now it's around my butt crack too, which is making me really nervous. Ive been using a hot air blower to soothe it, but I'm worried this could mess with my sperm count because of the heat. What should I do?
To treat this, I recommend using an antifungal cream such as Clotrimazole 1% cream. Apply a thin layer of the cream to the affected area twice a day for 2-4 weeks. Additionally, you can take an oral antifungal medication like Fluconazole 150mg once a week for 4 weeks to help clear the infection from within. Make sure to keep the area clean and dry, and avoid scratching to prevent further irritation. If the itching persists or worsens, please follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.
