I'm dealing with this jock itch and balanitis on my penis glans and I'm getting really worried. A few years back, I had ringworm and got treated by a doctor, which seemed to help, but then my scrotum skin ended up drying out and peeling completely. At the time, I thought it was just a part of the ringworm healing process. Now I'm freaking out, wondering if that's connected to what's happening now. I've been stuck with this jock itch ever since having the ringworm. Is this situation indicating some kind of penile cancer?

That could be fungal infection which needs both oral and topical antifungal medications and personal hygiene is more important for such condition.

I'm really stressed about the redness on my cheeks. I've tried several medications like isotretinoin 0.05, glocin gel, Vicco turmeric skin cream, benzoyl peroxide gel, clindamycin phosphate gel, and even diprovate, but nothing seems to work. I've consulted with a couple of doctors, but the redness just won't go away. Its really affecting my confidence, and to make it worse, my skin is super sensitive. Could you guide me on which of these might be the best option for me, or suggest something else that might help?
Given your sensitive skin, I recommend trying a gentle and soothing gel like "Avene Antirougeurs Calm Soothing Repair Mask". Apply a thin layer of this gel on your cheeks after cleansing your face, and leave it on for the recommended duration. This gel is specifically formulated to reduce redness and calm sensitive skin. Additionally, you can consider using a mild cleanser and moisturizer suitable for sensitive skin to help manage the redness. Remember to patch test any new product before applying it to your entire face to ensure compatibility with your skin.

I'm dealing with some penile yeast infections and also having fungal infections elsewhere on my body. I'm considering taking fluconazole and using the KZ2 cream for it. Do you think that's a good idea, or should I take a different approach?
For penile yeast infections and fungal infections on the body, you can take Fluconazole for the yeast infection. The recommended dosage for Fluconazole is usually a single 150mg dose. For the fungal infections on the body, you can use KZ 2% cream. This cream contains Ketoconazole which is effective against fungal infections. You can apply a thin layer of KZ 2% cream on the affected areas once or twice daily, as directed by your healthcare provider.
