Question

Is there a different brand I can use instead of Dipsalic lotion? Also, are betamethasone and clobetasol basically the same thing when they're used as a lotion on the scalp with salicylic acid? Just trying to figure out if there's a suitable alternative or if they work differently.

Question

I'm dealing with these really itchy rashes on my thighs and groin area, but thankfully my penis isn't affected. It's really uncomfortable because it chafes, bleeds, and itches so badly that I'm scratching constantly, both day and night. I can't even sleep since I can't resist the urge to scratch. What's worrying me is that it's starting to spread to my buttocks too. Could you help me figure out what's going on and what I can do about it?

Question

I've been noticing that I'm getting these small boils on both of my hands. It's really frustrating because they leave dark scars after they heal. I'm wondering if there's anything I can do to get rid of these scars and maybe even prevent the boils from happening in the first place? Any advice would be really appreciated!

Question

I'm really struggling with growing my beard and moustache, and it's starting to worry me a bit. Could you give me some advice on what might help them grow in better? I'm just looking for something simple that could make a difference.
