I'm dealing with a pretty uncomfortable situation here. I recently got over jock itch by using Clotrimazol Candid dusting powder, but now I've developed a small, pea-sized pus spot in my groin area. It burst open last night, and now Ive got this exposed wound that makes it tough to walk. I tried using Dettol Antiseptic liquid to clean it up, but it sometimes has a bad smell. Im really worried about it getting infected, so Id like to know what I can do to help it heal. Any advice?

View allI have this really bad fungal infection on the head of my penis. I used undiluted Dettol to wash it a couple of times, and now it's burned my skin pretty badly. The skin's peeling off, and I'm noticing some rashes now. Could you please give me some advice on what to do?
Using undiluted Dettol on sensitive skin can cause severe irritation, burns, and peeling. Immediate Care 1. Stop using Dettol: Immediately discontinue using Dettol or any other harsh soap on the affected area. 2. Clean the area gently: Wash the penis head with mild, fragrance-free soap and lukewarm water. Pat dry with a clean towel. 3. Apply a topical antibiotic cream: Over-the-counter (OTC) creams like Neosporin or Bacitracin can help prevent infection and promote healing. 4. Use a soothing cream: Apply a cream or gel containing aloe vera, hydrocortisone, or calamine to help soothe the skin and reduce inflammation. Treatment for Fungal Infection 1. Antifungal creams: OTC creams like clotrimazole (Candid-B) or miconazole (Micatin) can help treat fungal infections. 2. Oral antifungal medications: If the infection is severe or persistent, your doctor may prescribe oral antifungal medications like fluconazole (Diflucan). Managing Rashes and Peeling Skin 1. Topical corticosteroids: OTC creams or ointments containing hydrocortisone can help reduce inflammation and itching. 2. Moisturize: Apply a fragrance-free, gentle moisturizer to help soothe and hydrate the skin.

I'm having a really uncomfortable problem with sweating a lot in my groin area, especially around my anus and testicles. It's causing a pretty bad smell and it feels greasy down there, plus it makes my underwear dirty. I've already shaved the pubic hair and switched to wearing boxers instead of briefs, but the sweating hasn't stopped. I make sure to wash the area thoroughly when I shower in the morning, but still by the afternoon it starts again and seems to get worse by nighttime. Can you suggest any lotion or powder to help keep the area dry and clean all day?
That could beyour body tendency ,maintain regukar physical activity and take bath twice daily ,if its bothering you much visit Dermatologist for appropriate management

I'm really worried about my hair. A couple of years ago, I used a hair straightening cream and ended up with all these side effects like hair loss, thinning, dandruff, and a dry scalp. I've lost so much hair now that Im practically bald. What can I do to fix this? I could really use some advice on how to manage or reverse these effects.
Stop using those creams immediately.You need to visit a dermatologist or a trichologist for proper treatment .
