I've been having some issues with acne, especially whiteheads, and I think it might be a side effect from the B12 injections I had. The injections were Nervijen Plus and had ingredients like Folic Acid, Methylcobalamin, and Niacinamide. I got two shots, one on December 25th, 2017, and the other on January 1st, 2018. I'm wondering how long this acne could last? Every morning there's a new whitehead popping up. It's not as bad as it was, but it's still pretty annoying. Is there anything I can do or take to make this stop?
The acne caused by the B12 injection should subside on its own within 2-3 months, and to manage it, maintain good skincare habits, use acne treatments, avoid picking or popping whiteheads, and consider consulting a dermatologist for personalized advice.

Do you know what it means if the skin on my penis is peeling and feels really dry? I'm kinda worried because it's been like this for a bit. Is there something I can do to treat it, or should I see a doctor?
Peeling and dry skin on the penis can be uncomfortable. Here are some steps to help you treat and soothe the area: *Self-Care* 1. *Gentle cleansing*: Wash the area with mild, fragrance-free soap and lukewarm water. 2. *Moisturize*: Apply a fragrance-free, hypoallergenic moisturizer to the affected area. 3. *Avoid irritants*: Refrain from using harsh soaps, exfoliating scrubs, or tight clothing. *Topical Treatments* 1. *Hydrocortisone cream*: Over-the-counter (OTC) hydrocortisone cream can help reduce inflammation and itching. 2. *Antifungal creams*: If you suspect a fungal infection, apply an OTC antifungal cream like clotrimazole or miconazole. *When to Seek Medical Attention* 1. *Severe symptoms*: If you experience severe itching, burning, or pain. 2. *Discharge or odor*: If you notice unusual discharge or a strong odor. 3. *No improvement*: If your symptoms persist or worsen despite self-care and topical treatments.
