I'm starting to eat more dry fruits like figs, apricots, and almonds. But I'm a bit worried they might cause acne. I know everyone says theyre healthy, but I have sensitive skin, and I'm not sure if these can trigger breakouts. Have you seen this happen before? Should I be cautious with certain types like black raisins or walnuts?

I've noticed some white spots on my face and I'm wondering if it's something beyond calcium deficiency, which I know I have. These spots are a little visible right now, but I'm worried they might get worse over time. What could be causing them and how can I treat them?

I'm really worried because I've been dealing with balanitis, specifically candida balanitis, for a while now. About a month ago, my doctor said that's what it is, but I've noticed that whenever my penis gets hard, it turns red, and that's been happening for over six months. I've used surfaz cream and some antibiotics my urologist suggested, which seemed to clear up the infection. But then after seeing a dermatologist for the infection scars, he gave me desonide cream. When I masturbated two weeks later, the red spots came back. I went back to the dermatologist, and now I'm using onabet sd lotion, a fluconazole tablet, and a tablet called dazit. I just want to know how to completely get rid of this condition. I'm also concerned if the redness when my penis is hard is due to the infection. My sugar level is 119, so I don't have diabetes, and I'm 25. What should I do?

Even though superficially Candida looks washed off, systemically it's present that's the cause of recurrence,You to use the prescribed medicine and follow your doctor advice, maintain personal hygiene,no need to worry it's curable,have patience.
