I have white spots on my face every summer since childhood. How to get rid of it?

Hello doctor,

I am 19 and I have white spots on my face. Actually, I have had this problem since childhood. The spots occur every year on my face, especially in summer. But this time it has been two months and they are still present in my face although I am applying sunscreen and keep my face moisturized. I have not ventured out in the sun for these two months. But, I really do not like it when everyone asks me what happened to my cheeks. Can you please tell me the way to get rid of it?

I am suffering from penile infection with pain and burning. Please suggest medicines.

Hello doctor,

I am suffering from penile infection/balanitis for almost three months. This is occurring every week once or twice but it is disappearing after two to three days and coming back again. Initially, my symptoms were:

  1. Itching.
  2. Redness around the head of the penis.
  3. Swelling under the foreskin, and around the penile head.
  4. Small red tips on the head of the penis.
  5. Burning sensation.
  6. White/thick fluid discharge.
  7. Little discomfort during urination.

But now, along with these, I am experiencing pain and more burning sensation. Please suggest some medication to get rid of this disease.

I am having scrotum itching. Kindly advise what has to be done.

Hello doctor,

I have been suffering from groin fungal infection for a long time. It had healed six months ago by Onabet and some anti-fungal pills, but now it is back. This time it is scrotum itching. Also, on the penis. There are small dots on the penis and the top is red and a bit swelled up, maybe because I itched it.

Can you please suggest a cream which can dry the acne?

Hello doctor,

I am 27 years old female. Daily I get new acne. At first, I get redness in the skin which becomes swollen in 2 to 3 days, and sometimes have pus. I use the Kaya acne kit in the morning and at night. It dries the acne in three days but leaves a scar as by the time acne is swollen. Can you please suggest some effective cream that can dry the acne before it gets swollen and also cream to remove existing acne scars?
