I've noticed the skin under my testicles sometimes gets dry and starts peeling after some painful itching. This seems to happen for a couple of days, then it just goes back to normal with no itch or peeling, but the problem's come back again. Any ideas or suggestions on what's going on?

I'm trying to figure out the differences between Melaglow Cream and Melaglow Rich Cream, and I'm really curious which one is the best for my skin needs. Also, how long should I be using these creams to see a noticeable improvement in my skin tone? I'm just a bit confused and would really appreciate your advice on this.

MELAGLOW RICH CREAM is better for dry skin, while MELAGLOW CREAM is suitable for normal to oily skin. You can use either cream for up to 12 weeks for best results. Apply a thin layer on the affected area once daily in the evening.

I'm dealing with hair fall for the past three months and it's really worrying me. Are those shampoo-based hair colors, like Indica or Streaks, which you get in Rs 30 sachet packs, safe to use every couple of months? Also, is there any way we can stop hair from greying or falling out using medicines? And if I do decide to color, which brand would be the best pick?

Minoxidil 5. for local application ,once daily for 3-6 weeks is advised, tab finasteride 5 mg once daily for 3-6 weeks is advised to the patient.
