I'm experiencing some dryness on the head of my penis. I decided to try using coconut oil to help with the dryness. Is coconut oil a good choice for this, or should I be considering something else?

Question

I'm really worried because I have super sensitive, acne-prone skin and I just started using ACNESTAR soap since I have pimples almost everywhere on my body. I've also been applying pure aloe vera and leaving it on overnight, plus I began drinking Safi from yesterday. But last night, my skin was really itchy. Could this itchiness be from the soap, or maybe it's from combining the soap, Safi, and aloe vera all at once? I'm not sure what to do. Can you give me some advice, please?

Question

I'm noticing this black line on my forehead, and it seems to be getting darker every day. My skin is generally fair, but from my neck up, it's becoming noticeably darker. What could be causing this, and what's the best way to address it?

Question

I'm trying to figure out the best time to apply Candid clotrimazole cream for treating Tinea versicolor around my shoulder and chest. Is it better to use it before or after a shower, before sleeping, or maybe early in the morning before sunlight? Also, I've been taking one Fole 150 tablet every week for the past five weeks without using any creams or lotions. Should I keep taking Fole 150 tablets, or is it time to stop now?
