I'm experiencing this burning sensation on my scrotum, and my skin's turning red. It's not constant, but kind of comes and goes. Is there something I should be doing to ease this feeling? Would using something like Dettol be a good idea? I'd really appreciate any advice on what precautions to take to prevent this from happening again.

Could be due to a skin irritation or infection. Dettol is not recommended for use on the scrotum as it may further irritate the sensitive skin in that area. To help relieve the burning sensation and promote healing, you can try using a soothing cream or ointment containing zinc oxide or calamine. Additionally, keeping the area clean and dry is important.

I'm really worried because I've noticed some redness and warts on the skin of my penis. I think it might be a staph infection, but I'm not entirely sure. Could you please guide me on what kind of doctor I should see for this?
For a staph infection and skin lesions on the penis, consult a dermatologist or a urologist, specifically one specializing in genitourinary medicine, who can assess the condition, provide a proper diagnosis, and recommend effective treatment options, such as antibiotics, antiviral medications, or topical creams, to address the infection and skin lesions

I'm seeing these itchy red bumps that look like pimples on my forearms and ears. They first appeared two days ago on my hands and ears but have now spread to my forearms. They're not on my biceps or shoulders, which are usually covered by my t-shirt. Could this be related to the weather change? I was driving in the sun two days ago during the daytime and started noticing these patches afterward. What do you think?
Causes* 1. *Sun Allergy (Polymorphic Light Eruption)*: Exposure to sunlight, especially during peak hours, can trigger an allergic reaction, leading to itchy red bumps. 2. *Phototoxicity*: Certain medications or skincare products can react with sunlight, causing a phototoxic reaction, which may present with similar symptoms. 3. *Contact Dermatitis*: Exposure to an allergen or irritant, such as soap, detergent, or plant sap, can cause a skin reaction, especially on exposed areas like forearms and ears. 4. *Heat Rash (Miliaria)*: Prolonged exposure to heat and sunlight can cause heat rash, characterized by small, itchy bumps. *Next Steps* 1. *Seek shade and avoid further sun exposure*: Until the symptoms resolve, limit your time in the sun, especially during peak hours. 2. *Apply cool compresses*: To reduce itching and inflammation, apply a cool, wet compress to the affected areas. 3. *Use topical creams or ointments*: Over-the-counter hydrocortisone cream or calamine lotion can help alleviate itching and inflammation.
