My fianc's been dealing with this red, kinda dry, super itchy scrotum, especially where his leg creases and on the scrotum itself. It's not something we can just ignore because its pretty annoying for him. Do you have any idea what could be going on or how we might help him feel better? Is there anything specific we should try or avoid?

I recommend using an antifungal cream like Lotrimin Ultra twice a day on the affected areas for 2-4 weeks. Additionally, keeping the area clean and dry, wearing loose-fitting underwear, and avoiding scratching will help with the healing process.

View allI'm really struggling to find a cleanser or face wash that's gentle enough for my sensitive, acne-prone skin. I need something that wont burn or irritate but can still clean my pores deeply, getting rid of all the dirt and makeup residue in just one wash. At the same time, it should be effective against my acne and pimples. Any recommendations?
Clinsol gel for local application is advised for 3-6 weeks.

I'm really concerned about my hair loss and I'm wondering if it's possible for telogen effluvium and female pattern hair loss to overlap, and if so, can this be treated or cured? Also, what exactly causes these issues with hair loss? It's really been bothering me and I would love some insights or advice on what to do next.
Telogen effluvium is usually triggered by stress, illness, or hormonal changes, while female pattern hair loss is often genetic. To treat Telogen effluvium, minoxidil solution can be used twice daily on the scalp. For female pattern hair loss, medications like finasteride can be prescribed to help slow down hair loss and promote hair regrowth. It is important to address the underlying causes and follow a consistent treatment plan for best results.

I've been dealing with a keloid on my chest that developed after some acne, and despite getting tricort 40mg injections 11 times, I'm not seeing any improvement. I'm feeling pretty stuck and unsure about what to do next. Any suggestions or advice would be really helpful.
Since the tricort injections have not been effective in reducing the keloid, you may consider trying silicone gel sheets such as Mepiform or ScarAway. Apply the silicone gel sheets over the keloid for several hours a day to help flatten and soften the scar tissue. Additionally, you can ask your doctor about intralesional injections of 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) or verapamil, which have shown some success in reducing keloids.
