I just used tretinoin cream, and after a few minutes, my face started burning, so I quickly washed it off. Now I've got this reddish patch. I'm worried it might turn into brown patches. How should I manage or balance this?

I've been noticing something unusual after using a new towel. It left some lint on my penis, and even after drying with another towel, my skin became ashy and dry on one side. I tried using oils, but the dryness keeps coming back. Now, I've also noticed my scrotum has become dry and darker in color. What's going on here? Could the towel have caused this, or is it something else? I'm genuinely concerned and would appreciate any insight you might have.

I'm 25 and have been using benzoyl peroxide for my acne for the past three months, both the cream and the face wash. Lately, I've started noticing some fine lines or wrinkles near my cheeks. Could the benzoyl peroxide be causing this, or is there something else I should be concerned about? I'm just a bit worried since I'm still quite young for wrinkles. What should I do?
