I've noticed some changes in my skin color with different soaps. Normally, my skin tone is cream-colored, but using Santoor soap seemed to make it lighter and better. However, when I switched to Mysore Sandal soap, my skin started looking darker. Someone mentioned that Santoor soap is meant for women, so I stopped using it. Can you suggest a different soap that might help my skin get back to its original color? I'm really curious and a bit concerned about how this keeps happening.

Soap preference can be personal and skin-type dependent.
To help you find a suitable soap, consider the following:
- Look for soaps with natural ingredients: Soaps containing ingredients like coconut oil, olive oil, or shea butter can be gentle and nourishing.
- Avoid harsh soaps: Soaps with high pH levels or containing harsh chemicals can strip your skin of its natural oils, leading to dryness and darkening.
- Opt for fragrance-free or hypoallergenic soaps: These soaps are less likely to contain irritating ingredients that can affect your skin tone.
Some soap options you can consider:
- Dove Sensitive Skin Beauty Bar
- Nivea Soft Moisturizing Soap
- Cetaphil Gentle Skin Cleanser
- Himalaya Herbals Gentle Bathing Soap

View allI've been dealing with an itchy scrotum and these light white plaques on it for almost a year now. I just started using Terbinafine cream a couple of days ago. Any idea what I should do from here? I'm really curious if this treatment is enough or if there's something else I should consider.
That could be Fungal infection without any further delay, visit Dermatologist for appropriate management

I'm dealing with some issues down there. My penis skin feels sticky and it's pretty itchy. It's also slightly painful when I try to pull the skin back. There's this sticky white stuff on the head that looks like dried semen, but I'm sure that's not it. This has been happening for about three days now, though I'm not having any trouble with erections or urinating. What might be going on and how can I treat it?
it can be Smegma: A natural, cheesy substance that can accumulate under the foreskin, causing irritation and stickiness.1. Maintain good hygiene: Gently wash the affected area with mild soap and lukewarm water. 2. Avoid harsh products: Refrain from using scented soaps, bubble baths, or other products that may irritate the skin. 3. Dry the area thoroughly: After washing, gently pat the area dry with a clean towel. after following these if your symptoms doesnt resolve then contact general surgeon
