I'm dealing with a ringworm issue on my skin and I'm a bit confused about whether it's okay to use regular soap, like Dettol, on it. Last time I went to the doctor, I remember being told not to use soap there, but I'm not sure if they meant all soap or just some. They prescribed KZ soap before, so I'm wondering if that's the only thing I should be using or if it's okay to use other soaps. What would you recommend?

View allI'm really worried about my penis; there's this redness on the forehead of the skin and some small red bumps on the side. There's no itching or fluid, but it burns and irritates. I've been using Candida B, Onbet, and T Bact ointments and have tried various creams, but nothing seems to help. My skin is scratching and there's a red rash. What should I do?
This could be fungal infection u need to evaluate with your Dermatologist and get appropriate treatment with oral antifungal medications and topical lotions,once the infection is resolved your hair fall would come down,I suggest you not to use minoxidil with active fungal infection,above this your personal hygiene care is more important.

I'm a 36-year-old man with pearly penile papules on my glans, and I don't remember how long they've been there. What's the estimated cost for PPP removal, and what's the most affordable surgical option? How long does full recovery usually take, and where can I get this treated?
Pearly Penile Papules (PPPs) are generally harmless and don't require treatment, but can be removed for cosmetic reasons. The most affordable surgical options are typically cryotherapy (freezing) or excision with a scalpel, though laser treatments are also available. Costs vary, but can range from a few hundred to a few thousand dollars depending on the method and provider. Recovery usually takes a few weeks, and you can seek treatment from dermatologists or urologists
