I'm concerned about my situation. I've been experiencing this intense itching sensation on my scrotum for the past three months. It's like pins and needles, and although there's no visible rash, it's really bothering me. Can you help me figure out what's causing this and how I might be able to relieve the itch?

I'm experiencing this really uncomfortable feeling in winter, almost like needles are poking out of my skin from the inside, and its really intense. It usually happens when I'm out in the sun or doing any physical activity. The only thing that slightly helps is taking off my clothes and coming into contact with something cold or scratching really hard all over. But now, even just being outside for a little while triggers this sensation, and it's getting harder to handle in front of others. It's really impacting my life and work. I've noticed red patches appear where I feel the needle-poking sensation, which is worrying me a lot. I've been bathing with cold water to try and lessen how often it happens, but I'm really looking for a better and more long-term solution. Could you help me understand what's going on and advise on what I might do?

I've heard a lot about using alum for lightening facial hair, but I'm wondering if it's actually effective. Does it really make the hair less visible? Also, what should I be aware of in terms of benefits and drawbacks if I decide to try it out?
Alum, also known as potassium alum, can indeed help in lightening facial hair and reducing its appearance. It works by inhibiting the hair growth. However, it is important to note that alum can cause skin irritation and dryness in some individuals. Pros: - Helps in lightening facial hair - Reduces the appearance of facial hair - Can be a cost-effective hair removal method Cons: - May cause skin irritation and dryness - Not suitable for individuals with sensitive skin - Results may vary from person to person If you decide to use alum for facial hair, it is recommended to do a patch test first to check for any skin sensitivity. Apply a small amount of alum on a small area of your skin and wait for 24 hours to see if there is any adverse reaction. If there is no irritation, you can proceed with using alum for facial hair lightening.
