I'm curious about using alum for treating yeast infections. I've read about applying water and alum together, but I'm not sure how effective it is or if there are any risks involved. Could you provide some insights into whether this is a safe and useful method?

View allI've been dealing with persistent itching between my thighs and around my private areas. I started using coconut oil, and it seems to help for a couple of days, but then the irritation comes back. It's also itchy underneath my breasts. What could be causing this, and what can I do to make it stop for good?
You may be experiencing a fungal infection in those areas. I recommend using an antifungal cream like Clotrimazole 1% cream. Apply it twice a day in the affected areas for 2-4 weeks. Additionally, you can take an oral antifungal medication like Fluconazole 150mg once a week for 4 weeks to treat the infection from within. Make sure to keep the affected areas clean and dry, and wear loose-fitting clothing to help with the itching and irritation.

I'm really concerned because I've noticed a black spot on the head of my penis and around it for about 4 years now. There's no itching, but I'm really eager to get them removed. Can you please help me figure out what this might be and how I can get rid of it?
May be due to a condition called Fordyce spots, which are harmless and do not require treatment. However, if you wish to remove them, you can consider using topical treatments such as Retin-A cream or laser therapy. Please consult a dermatologist for proper evaluation and management.

I'm really worried about some cuts and peeling skin on my penis. I had been using clobeta gm for a rash, but it started peeling and now the skin feels really thin. After a morning erection, the skin actually got tiny cuts. My doctor prescribed me lulimac cream, HTRZ, ATARAX Cap, and some antibiotics. The cuts aren't healing yet, and there's a light yellow-white fluid and some yellow stuff around the cuts. Do you think this is an infection? The doctor mentioned it might take 23 days to heal. Im feeling really anxious about it. Any advice on what to do while I wait?
