View allI've had this mole on my foreskin for the past couple of years, and just recently, it's been freaking me out because it seems to be growing. I saw a dermatologist who said it's nothing serious, but I can't stop worrying. I keep thinking that it's itchy or that there's some pain around my penis, and it's freaking me out more because I can't tell if I'm just imagining these symptoms. What should I do? Should I be concerned, or am I overthinking it?
I understand your concern and anxiety about the mole on your foreskin. It's natural to feel apprehensive when it comes to changes in our bodies, especially in sensitive areas. Firstly, Reassurance from a Dermatologist The fact that you consulted a dermatologist and they reassured you that the mole is benign is a positive sign. Dermatologists are trained to diagnose and treat skin conditions, including moles. Anxiety and Hypervigilance It's common for people to experience anxiety and hypervigilance when they're concerned about a particular health issue. This can lead to: Heightened sensitivity,anxiety

My 3.5-year-old daughter has flaky dandruff and an itchy scalp. I've tried using lemon and vinegar, but nothing seems to be helping. Do you think Candid B lotion would be a good option for her? Would love any advice you might have.
For your daughter's flaky dandruff and itchy scalp, you can try using Nizoral shampoo. It contains ketoconazole which is effective against dandruff and scalp itching. You can use it twice a week for 4 weeks. If the symptoms persist, please consult a dermatologist for further evaluation and management.

I'm dealing with some jock itch and picked up Lobate GM cream to help with it. I'm wondering if it's safe to use or should I stick with something like itch guard instead?
Lobate GM cream contains Clobetasol, Miconazole, and Neomycin. It is not typically recommended for jock itch as it contains a steroid which may worsen fungal infections. Itch guard cream, on the other hand, contains Clotrimazole which is effective against fungal infections like jock itch. I recommend using Itch guard cream for jock itch. Apply it twice daily for 2-4 weeks for best results.
