A couple of days ago I had unprotected oral sex with a prostitute and also had regular condom-protected sex, fingering, and kissing on her breasts and mouth. Since then, the tip of my penis has been itchy. It was more noticeable on the first day and got a bit better on the second day. Today, it's not so much itchy but I just have this kind of sensation. Afterward, about 15 minutes later, I used Betadine surgical scrub multiple times that day and once yesterday on that area and even some inside the tip, along with soap and water. Should I be worried and see a healthcare professional? Am I at risk for anything?

I've been using Cosmolite cream for the past three years, but I've noticed that since I've stopped, the skin around my mouth and eyes has turned darker. I'm pretty worried about this change. Could you give me some advice on how to get my natural skin tone back in those areas? Any suggestions or treatments you could recommend would be really appreciated.

The darkening of skin around your mouth and eyes after stopping Cosmolite cream suggests rebound hyperpigmentation or post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH); to recover, try: applying sunscreen with SPF 30+ daily, using topical creams containing niacinamide, vitamin C, or kojic acid, and exfoliating gently with alpha-hydroxy acids (AHAs) or beta-hydroxy acids (BHAs); consult a dermatologist for personalized guidance and potential prescription-strength treatments.

I've had this itchiness and redness on my clitoris for the past two weeks and I'm kind of anxious about it. I'm not really comfortable going to see a doctor in person right now, so I'm wondering what steps I might take to help with this at home. Do you have any suggestions?

dont worry that could be uti or vaginitis which needs to be ruled out and treated as soon as possible u can trust your doctor dont worry, consume plenty of water to washout any infection if present,and maintain personal hygiene.
