I'm 39 years old and have been dealing with chickenpox for the last couple of days. The blisters are all over my body, especially on my face. I've heard about using Dettol antiseptic liquid for bathing, and I'm wondering if that's okay while I'm dealing with such severe symptoms. I'm just worried about whether it might irritate my skin more or if it could help sanitize those blisters a bit. Any advice would be really appreciated.

I've noticed these small white bumps appearing on the bottom part of my penis shaft for a while now, and recently there seem to be more. They're now covering most of the base and the underside of my shaft. Can anyone tell me what these might be and suggest any possible treatments? I'm really curious and a bit worried about it.

You may be experiencing Fordyce spots, which are small, harmless spots that can appear on the penis. These spots are usually sebaceous glands and are considered a normal variation. There is no need for treatment as they are benign. However, if you are concerned or experiencing any discomfort, you can consult a dermatologist for further evaluation and reassurance.
