View allI've been dealing with this seborrheic dermatitis for like five years now and it feels like I've tried almost every treatment out there. I'm starting to get really frustrated and I'm not sure what else to do. Is there something I might be missing or any other options I should consider?
In cases where conventional treatments have not been effective, a prescription medication like Ketoconazole shampoo (2%) can be helpful. You can use it twice a week for 4 weeks, then once a week for maintenance. Additionally, a topical corticosteroid like Clobetasol propionate cream (0.05%) can be applied to affected areas twice daily for up to 2 weeks. It's important to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.

I've been dealing with itchy testicles for a year now, and it's really getting worse. I make sure to clean my genital area daily, but it tends to be dry. I've tried everythingaloe moisturizers, Vera gel, soframycin oilbut nothing seems to work for long. I get some temporary relief, but the itching is really bad at midnight, early morning, or after going to the office gym. Can you suggest any medicine or ointment that might help with this?
For persistent testicular itchiness, consider consulting a dermatologist or urologist to rule out underlying conditions like eczema, psoriasis, or fungal infections; in the meantime, try applying a hydrocortisone cream (1%) or an antifungal cream like clotrimazole, and maintain good genital hygiene, avoiding harsh soaps and wearing breathable clothing, and if the issue persists, your doctor may prescribe stronger topical or oral medications.

About a month ago, my wife suddenly noticed some tiny black dots, about 1 mm in size, appearing on her face and neck over the course of a week. They don't seem like pimples or moles, but they're completely black. This is the first time something like this has happened, and there hasn't been any change in their size or color since then. What could be causing these dots? And more importantly, what should she do to get rid of them?
These black dots could be due to a condition called dermatosis papulosa nigra, which is common in people with skin of color. To get rid of them, your wife can consider using topical retinoids like Adapalene gel 0.1% once daily at night. Additionally, she can also try cryotherapy treatment with liquid nitrogen by a dermatologist to remove the black dots. It is important to consult a dermatologist for proper evaluation and treatment
