I'm a 17-year-old who's sexually active and I'm a bit worried about something weird going on. I've noticed more and more small red dots on my penis, and though they don't hurt or itch, if I pinch them, they bleed a tiny bit and feel raw afterward. I had an accident a couple of weeks ago where I cut my foot on a rusty nail, but it seems fine with no infection. I'm on a school trip right now, so seeing a doctor isn't easy. Could this be something serious that I should get checked out? It's just strange because it started with only a few dots and now there are lots more all over the head and foreskin, and it's only been three days. Any idea what this could be?

View allI've been dealing with this skin issue in my genital area for the past two weeks. There are these red rings that are super irritating and burn a lot. Ive tried using creams like ringguard and beetex, but they didnt help. Any idea what I can do about it? It's starting to really worry me.
It sounds like you may be experiencing a fungal infection, such as a ringworm. I recommend trying an antifungal cream like Clotrimazole (brand name Lotrimin) twice a day for at least 2 weeks. Additionally, you can take an oral antifungal medication like Fluconazole (brand name Diflucan) as prescribed by your doctor. Make sure to keep the affected area clean and dry, and avoid wearing tight clothing. If your symptoms persist, it's important to follow up with a healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.

Ever since I used Veet hair removal cream on my bikini area a few weeks back, my vagina's been feeling really inflamed and irritated. Things improved a bit once the hair grew back, but now I'm still super itchy around the outer labia at night, even though everything seems normal during the day with no weird discharge. I'm trying hard not to scratch so I don't make it worse, but it's really messing with my sleep. What should I do?
Lulican cream for local application for 2 weeks and tab levocetrizine 10 mg for atleast 5 days is advised to the patient.
