Redness on the glans of the penis can be a sign of inflammation or infection. It is important to keep the area clean and dry. You can apply an over-the-counter antifungal cream like Clotrimazole 1% twice a day for 1-2 weeks. If the redness persists or is accompanied by other symptoms such as pain, discharge, or fever, please consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation and management.

I've been having a lot of itching around my penis and testes lately. Scratching gives me temporary relief, but then it starts itching again. I've tried using Candid lotion, but it hasn't helped at all. I'm really consistent about bathing every day and even use cooling powders, yet the itchiness persists. It's pretty embarrassing because I can't stop myself from scratching in public sometimes. Also, there are visible red scratch marks between my penis and upper thighs. Can you help me figure out what might be going on and what I should do?

You may be experiencing a fungal infection in the groin area, also known as jock itch. In addition to maintaining good hygiene practices, you can try using an antifungal cream such as Clotrimazole (brand name Lotrimin) twice a day for 2-4 weeks. Make sure to keep the area clean and dry, and wear loose-fitting cotton underwear to help reduce moisture and friction. If the symptoms persist or worsen, it's important to follow up with a healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.

So, I'm 17 and curious if it's okay for me to take beard growth pills with Biotin? They say it's for 18 and older, but I just want to be sure about it.
