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've been dealing with this fungal dandruff and have been using AF 150mg along with keto B lotion for a few weeks now. It seems like the dandruff's slightly better, but Im really wondering how much longer I should keep taking this medication? Do you think theres a specific time frame for this kind of treatment, or should I just continue until it's fully gone? I don't want to stop too soon and make things worse.

That takes time and needs special care continue the same medication as your doctor adviced and maintain personal hygiene for a better result.
