I'm dealing with chickenpox; it's been about two days and the blisters are getting pretty uncomfortable. A friend mentioned that his doctor recommended Fucidin cream when he had chickenpox. Do you think it would be okay for me to use Fucidin on these infected areas too, or should I stick to something else?

I've noticed some purple dots on the head of my penis and the skin is also really dry. The foreskin doesn't seem smooth at all. What could be causing this, and is there anything I should do about it? I'm getting a bit worried.

It sounds like you may be experiencing symptoms of irritation or an infection, possibly related to dry skin or a dermatological condition. I recommend seeing a healthcare provider for an examination to rule out any underlying issues such as balanitis or other skin conditions. In the meantime, keeping the area clean and moisturized may help, but it's best to get a professional evaluation.

I'm a 20-year-old male and I've noticed my penis is curved to the left. It makes me wonder if this is something I should be concerned about. Is it safe to have a curved penis? I'm really interested in knowing if there are natural methods to straighten it out since I'm not keen on going for surgery. Any advice would be appreciated.

A curved penis is usually not a cause for concern unless it is causing pain or difficulty with sexual activity.
