I've noticed that the skin around my penis and testicles has turned red and it's really itchy. It seems like there's some kind of sticky liquid discharge too. I've never been sexually active, so I'm unsure about what's happening. Could this be an infection or something else, and what should I do about it?

Use an antifungal cream like Clotrimazole 1% twice a day on the affected area for 1-2 weeks. Keep the area clean and dry, and avoid wearing tight clothing. If the symptoms persist or worsen, please consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation and management.

Question

I'm dealing with this red, ring-like rash and it's really itchy in my groin area. I just realized I used the same pad from my last period. Could this be the cause of the rash and itching? I'm kinda worried and not sure what to do. What do you think?

Question

I've been struggling with pimples for about 4 years now, and it's really affecting my skin color. My skin looks darker, and I really want to achieve glowing and permanently lighter skin for my face and entire body. Can you suggest what I can do to improve my skin condition?

Question

I'm dealing with ringworm on and off for the last 6 months and I'm really getting frustrated. I've tried loads of medicines and it sometimes improves, but then it comes back again. It all started when I had a longer-than-usual period, and now every month around that time, it flares up again. I did see a dermatologist, and their treatment almost cleared it up, but when my period hits, it pops back up, and now it seems to be spreading more. Do you have any advice on what's going on or what I should do?
