Question

I've been having this issue for the past six months where I notice some white patches on the glans of my penis, which come off easily after washing. Theres also a small red spot inside the foreskin with some light itching. I got a VDRL test done and it came back negative. I've been using zoster ointment, but I'm a bit worried. Whenever I have physical relations, sometimes the glans gets a bit red, and the foreskin seems to shrink and tighten. Should I be concerned about this, and is there anything else I should be doing or looking into?

Question

I'm experiencing this really frustrating full body itching that has turned into black marks. I saw a doctor, and they mentioned it might be because of dry skin. I've tried using lotion, ointments, and even tablets, but they only seem to help while I'm using them. As soon as I finish the course, the itching comes back. Can you help me understand what's going on or suggest something that might work better?

I've taken an HIV rapid test three months after possible exposure, and the result came back negative. Is this result definitive, or is it advisable to have another test done?
