It sounds like you're dealing with both a fungal infection and balanitis, which can cause discomfort and difficulty with the foreskin. I recommend consulting a dermatologist or a urologist for a proper diagnosis and treatment. They may prescribe antifungal medications and topical treatments to address both conditions.

Accepted Answer

For Acanthosis nigricans, it is important to address the underlying cause, such as obesity or insulin resistance. In addition to medical treatment, you can try using over-the-counter creams containing ingredients like retinoids or alpha hydroxy acids to help lighten the darkened skin. Moisturizing regularly can also help improve the appearance of the affected areas.

Accepted Answer

Idiopathic guttate hypomelanosis (IGH) symptoms include small, round, white or hypopigmented spots, typically 2-5mm in diameter, on sun-exposed areas like forearms, shins, and face; while it's not curable, treatments like topical corticosteroids, retinoids, cryosurgery, and laser therapy can help reduce appearance; consult a dermatologist for a proper diagnosis and guidance, as a single image isn't sufficient for a definitive diagnosis.

It sounds like your skin is experiencing uneven pigmentation and dryness, which could be due to a variety of factors such as dehydration, hormonal changes, or skin irritation.

Meanwhile, make sure to stay hydrated, use a gentle moisturizer, and protect your skin from the sun.

To address moles, acne, and achieve clear skin:Cleaning Method1. Gentle cleanser: Replace Acnelak soap with a gentle, non-comedogenic cleanser (e.g., Cetaphil or Neutrogena).2. Warm water: Cleanse your face with warm water instead of hot water.3. Pat dry: Gently pat your face dry with a clean towel.Additional Tips1. Exfoliate: Exfoliate once or twice a week using a gentle scrub or a chemical exfoliant containing alpha-hydroxy acids (AHAs) or beta-hydroxy acids (BHAs).2.
