I'm having some issues with my scrotum skin it's been really dry for the past few days, and the skin even starts peeling. The itching is driving me crazy too. Could this be something serious? What should I do about it?

I'm trying to figure out whether I should use Neosporin powder or a Betadine tube for treating wounds on the knees and elbows from falling on the road. I know Betadine is used with dressing, which can be so sticky and painful when changing it. On the other hand, I've heard Neosporin powder is just sprinkled over the wound. Could you help me decide which might be better?

For road fall wounds on the knees and elbows, both Neosporin and Betadine can be effective, but Neosporin powder may be more suitable for open wounds as it helps prevent infection without sticking. Betadine can be used for cleaning, but it might be painful to remove due to its adhesive nature. It's important to apply a clean dressing to reduce pain during redressing.

I've just finished a treatment for lichen planus, and the bumps and itching have stopped, thankfully. However, the marks are still visible, and I really want them gone quicker if possible. The dermatologist mentioned they'd fade over time, but is there anything I can do to speed up the process and get rid of these marks in a few months to a year?

Scars would fade with time,if you are worried much there are other treatment modalities for a better results, consume balanced diet with vitamin E rich foods this would help.

Is it alright to take oral glutathione if I'm currently on isotretinoin 10 mg per day? I just started the isotretinoin today, and I'm a bit worried about any potential interactions or side effects.

Continue the medications as advised.
