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 been dealing with some pretty bad acne and breakouts on my face, shoulders, and back since I had chickenpox about three years ago. Before that, I never really had any issues with acne, so I'm super frustrated. I went to a bunch of doctors and tried different creams and tablets, but nothing seems to work. It's been a few years now, and every time one breakout heals, another one pops up. Could this be connected to the way the chickenpox was treated back then, or is there something else going on? I'm really worried because my face is a mess right now and I'm not sure what else to do. Any advice or solutions for dealing with acne after chickenpox?
