So I've been using this Alpha Arbutin serum for almost 78 days now to help with pigmentation and dark spots around my lips. It's from this brand called The Minimalist. I usually get breakouts now and then, but I've noticed since using it, I'm getting more red pimples with white stuff inside. Do you think the serum could be causing this? Or is it just a coincidence? I'm just really curious if I should stop using it or if there might be another cause.

I'm dealing with something really weird for almost a year now, the skin on my penis has been super dry. Every time I take a shower and try to clean it, the skin cracks open, which is really painful. I constantly have to put on Vaseline to stop it from drying out even more. Even the inside of the skin feels pretty dry. Any idea what's going on or what I should do?

This could be fungal infection u need to evaluate with your Dermatologist and get appropriate treatment with oral antifungal medications and topical lotions,once the infection is resolved your hair fall would come down,I suggest you not to use minoxidil with active fungal infection,above this your personal hygiene care is more important.
