I'm dealing with some type of infection on the skin of my penis, and I'm not sure who to turn to. Should I make an appointment with a urologist, dermatologist, or sexologist? I'm a bit worried and want to get the right advice.

View allI've been dealing with this frustrating fungal infection in my groin for a while now. It's got this annoying itching and my skin has turned dark, almost black. I'm 48 and weigh about 80 KGs. I've been using forederm ointment for a month, but if I skip even a day or two, the symptoms come right back. I'm really looking for some help here. Is there something else I should try or any advice you can give me to get this under control?
It seems like you have a persistent fungal infection in your groin area. I recommend you try using Terbinafine cream twice daily for 2-4 weeks. Additionally, you can take Fluconazole 150mg once a week for 4 weeks to treat the infection internally. Make sure to keep the area clean and dry, and wear loose-fitting clothing to prevent further irritation.

I'm really worried about my situation. I've been married for 6 years and have a kid, and recently, the foreskin of my penis has become really dry and reddish. The skin flakes off like dandruff which makes it really uncomfortable and irritating, though there's no itching. This started happening about 3 months ago after I had a yeast infection. I already saw my family doctor and used the cortico cream treatment, but it hasnt gotten any better. I havent had sex in two months because I'm afraid of making it worse or causing more problems. Ive never experienced anything like this before and its truly getting me down. Can you please give me some advice?
Consult a urologist or dermatologist for personalized guidance, and consider self-care measures like gentle cleansing, avoiding irritants, and using fragrance-free products to manage dryness and discomfort.

I've been dealing with acne and pimples on my face for about a year and a half now. I'm wondering if taking Safi might help clear my skin. Does it actually work for this kind of issue? Can you shed some light on this for me?
