Question 1

I've been having some real discomfort down there. I rubbed the area around my anus because it was irritated, and now its burning even more, and I'm noticing more skin getting affected. I tried soaking in warm water with potassium permanganate, but the burning persists. What can I do to make it better?

Accepted Answer

A long foreskin covering the penis, even during full erection, can be a concern.

_Possible Conditions_

1. _Phimosis_: A condition where the foreskin is too tight or narrow, causing it to cover the glans (head) of the penis.
2. _Redundant foreskin_: Excess foreskin tissue can cause it to cover the penis, even during erection.

_Options to Consider_

1. _Circumcision_: A surgical procedure to remove excess foreskin.
2. _Foreskin stretching or preputioplasty_: Non-surgical or minimally invasive procedures to loosen or remove excess foreskin.
3. _Topical creams or ointments_: Applying creams or ointments to help loosen the foreskin.

_Consult a_

1. _Urologist_: A specialist who can assess and advise on the best course of treatment.
2. _Andrologist_: A specialist who deals with male reproductive health.

Question 2

I've been dealing with scabies for about a week now, and I've been using benzyl benzoate 25 on my body. I've avoided my face and penis area, but now I've noticed some small red bumps on the head of my penis. Is it safe to apply the cream there, or should I try something else? I'm a bit worried about what to do next.

Accepted Answer

No it is not advised.

Question 3

I'm really worried about scabies and how it might spread through the things I use daily. Can you give me some advice on disinfecting my surroundings, like the furniture I use and gadgets like my laptop and mobile? I want to make sure I'm doing everything I can to prevent it from spreading.

I'm a bit concerned because I've been using Betnovate cream on my face for skin lightening over the past 5 years, like every other day or sometimes thrice a week. Is this safe to keep using in the long run? Are there any side effects I should be aware of?
