I've been on Total Nano Leo for a week now, and I'm having this weird itching and burning around my outer anal area. Could the powder be causing this? What's up with that?

Could be due to a possible allergic reaction or irritation. I recommend stopping the powder and consulting a doctor. You can try using a topical cream like Preparation H to relieve the itching and burning sensation. Apply a small amount externally around the anal area twice a day for relief.

I've been noticing this white powder under my nails whenever I scrape my scalp. It's not itchy, and I don't see flakes or dandruff. I shower daily, so I'm quite clean. The powder is a bit waxy. Is this just sebum, or could it be something unusual? Is this normal for scalp skin and only becomes visible after scraping?

The white powder you are noticing when you scrape your scalp is likely sebum mixed with dead skin cells. Sebum is an oily substance produced by the sebaceous glands in the skin, including the scalp. It is normal for sebum to be present on the scalp to help keep the skin and hair moisturized. When sebum mixes with dead skin cells and other debris, it can form a slightly waxy substance that becomes visible when you scrape your scalp. This is a normal occurrence and is not necessarily abnormal. However, if you notice any changes in the color, texture, or odor of the white powder, or if you experience any other symptoms such as itching, redness, or inflammation, it is advisable to consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation and advice."

My mom has had a skin issue on her heel for the last two years. It usually doesn't hurt but gets itchy, and if there's a cut in that area, it starts to pain. We've tried treatments before, but nothing worked. Now that we're in Mumbai, I'm hoping to find a good dermatologist who can help without suggesting surgery. Most of the ones I've seen here focus on anti-aging or cosmetic procedures. Can you recommend someone who specializes in skin conditions like this? I've attached pictures of the affected area.
