What should I do if I've put Dettol liquid directly on my pennies? I did this last night, applying it on both the outside and inside skin, and now I've got a burning sensation. Can you help me with how to deal with this?

Applying Dettol liquid directly on the penis can cause irritation and a burning sensation on the skin. It is important to wash off the Dettol immediately with plenty of water to minimize further irritation. You can apply a soothing cream containing aloe vera or calamine lotion to help calm the skin and reduce the burning sensation. Additionally, taking an over-the-counter pain reliever such as ibuprofen can help with any discomfort. If the burning sensation persists or worsens, it is advisable to seek medical attention for further evaluation and management.

I've been dealing with some itchy spots around my bikini line and butt, and I've tried using itch guard cream and candid dusting powder, which helped at first, but the itching keeps coming back. Just the other day, I noticed I have some ringworm on my thighs too. I'm really frustrated and worried about why these things keep happening. What can I do to stop this once and for all?

I've been dealing with some really frustrating skin issues. There are these rashes and stretch marks around my groin area, and the itching is just unbearable at times. I tried using Cosvate GM for a bit, but after I read some stuff about it, I stopped. Now I'm using an antifungal powder, but it doesn't seem to work for long, and it feels like its not a permanent fix. What do you suggest I do about this?

I'm wondering if there's any risk of getting an STD from rubbing my penis on a partner's vagina, especially when some vaginal fluid comes into contact with my penis. I tend to do this often, so I'm a bit concerned. Can this lead to an STD?
