I'm dealing with an ongoing infection under my foreskin and on the top of my penis. I've been seeing a dermatologist for a couple of months, and while it got better at first, the infection hasn't completely gone away and seems to have gotten worse again. Should I stick with the dermatologist, or is it time to see a urologist? Any advice on what I should do next?

that looks like venereal disease , ask your dermatologist fpr appropriate approach there will be seperate kit for each such disease u can ask for such treatment, personal hygiene is most important and refrain from sexual activity untill you are completely recovered.

I'm kind of worried because for over six months now, the cover of my penis just won't open properly. I try to open it and the skin ends up with these painful cuts. This whole thing actually started about a year ago. The skin at the tip has also gotten really dry and rough. I'm 34 and unsure about what to do next. Could you give some advice on this?

yes you can
