I've read that barium sulfate can be used in preparing soap for removing permanent unwanted hair. Is that safe to use? I'm worried because I don't know much about how barium sulfate works and if it has any side effects on the skin. Can you explain this to me and whether it's a reliable method?

Using soap combined with any substance like barium sulfate for hair removal would not provide any significant results and could potentially cause irritation or harm to the skin. Always choose clinically tested and proven methods for hair removal.

I've been using this bleaching cream called Oxy every month, and it gives me a fair look for just two days, then my skin goes back to normal. But now, after using bleach so much, my skin is starting to get darker, and I feel like I have to use bleach to make it better, which just seems to make it permanently darker. I'm really worried and curious if bleach cream is actually safe to use. Does it actually help? And since my skin's getting darker from it, what can I do to avoid this or make it better? Any advice on creams or tablets would be really appreciated.

I've been dealing with this constant itching on my balls and noticed there's a light cut on the outer skin of my penis at the top. I've tried a couple of antifungal creams, including itch guard, but nothing seems to work. It's starting to worry meis there something more I should be doing or getting checked out?
I recommend trying a combination antifungal cream containing Clotrimazole and Betamethasone. Apply a thin layer of this cream to the affected areas twice a day for up to 2 weeks. Additionally, keep the area clean and dry, wear loose-fitting underwear, and avoid scratching to prevent further irritation. If the symptoms persist or worsen, please follow up with a healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.
