My skin's really oily and acne-prone, plus its super sensitive. I'm trying to figure out which Cetaphil cleanser would be best suited for me. Should I go with the Cetaphil OS Oily Skin Cleanser or should I opt for the Cetaphil Gentle Cleanser? I'm kind of worried about making things worse with the wrong choice. Any advice?

Over winter, I've noticed my skin tends to get a darker shade, even though I've usually got a fair skin tone. What do you think might be causing this? Plus, my skin gets pretty dry around this time. Could you recommend a moisturizer that isn't sticky but still brightens up my skin? Would love some advice on how to manage both these issues!

I'm experiencing a bad smell from my groin area, kind of like sweaty socks, especially when I'm sitting down. This just started about a week ago. A couple of months ago, I had a fungal infection around my anus and did a full course of medication from my doctor. I was prescribed ITZHH capsules and Livafin cream. Right now, I'm using Candid 1 clotrimazole soap, but it doesn't seem to be helping. What should I do?

I recommend adding an antifungal cream such as Terbinafine (brand name Lamisil) twice daily to the affected area. Make sure to keep the area clean and dry, wear loose-fitting clothing, and avoid tight underwear to help prevent further irritation. If the symptoms persist or worsen, please follow up with your doctor for further evaluation and management.
