I'm dealing with something really weird for almost a year now, the skin on my penis has been super dry. Every time I take a shower and try to clean it, the skin cracks open, which is really painful. I constantly have to put on Vaseline to stop it from drying out even more. Even the inside of the skin feels pretty dry. Any idea what's going on or what I should 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've just turned 31 and recently got married, and I'm facing an issue with my skin. I've always had oily skin, but now I'm breaking out with a lot of pimples on my face. I maintain a really healthy diet, and I eat lots of fruits and veggies. Could this breakout be due to hormonal changes, maybe because my period is approaching? I'm worried and would appreciate any advice on how to reduce these pimples and deal with the spots they're leaving behind. What can I do about this?
Pimples can often flare up due to hormonal changes, especially around your period. Stress from new changes or diet can also contribute. To manage them, try using a gentle cleanser, avoid touching your face too much, and consider a spot treatment with ingredients like salicylic acid.

I'm a bit worried because I noticed some cuts on the inner skin of my penis after having intercourse last week. It's really dry and itchy now. Could you let me know what's going on and what I can do about it?
Apply a topical antibiotic ointment and a moisturizer to soothe the dryness and itching; take an over-the-counter antihistamine or hydrocortisone cream for itching; practice good hygiene, avoid scratching, and wear loose clothing
