I'm dealing with an ongoing itch and redness around my ball sack area and between my thighs. It's been bugging me for two months, and I think it might be a fungal infection. I'm really concerned as it seems to be getting worse. Could this be something serious? Any advice would be great.

You may be suffering from tinea cruris which is fungal infection of the inner thighs and buttocks area. It can be treated by taking four to six weeks of anti fungal treatment which includes tablets along with creams. Do not use soap over that area. Mistreatment with over the counter Steroid containing creams like panderm, quadriderm, dermi 5, candid b etc lead to repeated case of recurrence and also side effects due to application. Do not use steroid containing combination creams.

View allI've had a bit of an accident where I accidentally burned the skin on my testicles with Dettol. It turned red and kind of loose afterward, but my doctor helped by giving me an injection, which seemed to get it back to its original shape. Now, I'm really anxious about whether this might cause any sexual issues down the line. Should I be worried about any long-term effects?
Chemical burns can be painful and concerning, especially when they affect sensitive areas. Chemical Burns and Testicular Health Dettol liquid contains chloroxylenol, a disinfectant that can cause chemical burns, especially if used undiluted or on sensitive skin. The burn may have caused: 1. Inflammation: Redness, swelling, and pain in the affected area. 2. Skin damage: Burns can cause skin damage, potentially leading to scarring or changes in skin texture. Sexual Health Concerns Fortunately, the doctor's prompt treatment, including the injection, helped restore the skin to its original shape. However, it's essential to address potential sexual health concerns: 1. Pain during sex: You may experience temporary pain or discomfort during sex due to the burn. 2. Skin sensitivity: The affected skin may remain sensitive for some time, potentially affecting sexual activity. 3. No long-term effects: In most cases, chemical burns on the testicles do not cause long-term sexual health problems, such as infertility or erectile dysfunction. Follow-up and Precautions To ensure a smooth recovery and minimize potential complications: 1. Follow-up appointments: Schedule follow-up appointments with your doctor to monitor the healing process. 2. Practice good hygiene: Avoid using harsh chemicals or soaps on the affected area. Instead, use gentle, fragrance-free cleansers.

I've noticed that I've developed quite a few til on my face, and they seem to be increasing. I'm also seeing them appear on my neck and hands. What can I do to stop them from spreading and how do I get rid of them?
Excessive oil production on your face is often due to overactive sebaceous glands. While you cant completely stop oil production (and you shouldnt, as some oil is necessary for healthy skin), you can manage it effectively with the following steps: Cleanse properly, hydrate your skin, control shine during the day by carrying tissues to absorb the excess oil without disturbing makeup, adjust your diet, avoid heavy makeup, exfoliate weekly , use specialised treatments, manage stress.

I've got this pain on my upper right butt cheek, and I found a small lump there about the size of a chickpea. It's making me a bit worried. It really hurts when I press on it. What could this be?
Dermat opinion is advised to the patient.
