I'm experiencing a lot of itching and redness along with some slight pain on the inner skin of my penis, the part that becomes visible after I pull back the foreskin. Can you advise on what I should do about it? I'm wondering if using skin ointments like RingGuard or Betnovate is safe for such a sensitive area.

That could be fungal infection which needs both oral and topical antifungal medications and personal hygiene is more important for such condition.

View allI'm trying to understand how to use the Topisal 6 lotion my dermatologist recommended for my dandruff. How long should I keep it on my scalp before washing it off? I'm a bit confused about the application time and would really appreciate some guidance!
That could be Gastritis or GERD once check with Gastroenterologist .

I'm experiencing a bad smell from my groin area, kind of like sweaty socks, especially when I'm sitting down. This just started about a week ago. A couple of months ago, I had a fungal infection around my anus and did a full course of medication from my doctor. I was prescribed ITZHH capsules and Livafin cream. Right now, I'm using Candid 1 clotrimazole soap, but it doesn't seem to be helping. What should I do?
I recommend adding an antifungal cream such as Terbinafine (brand name Lamisil) twice daily to the affected area. Make sure to keep the area clean and dry, wear loose-fitting clothing, and avoid tight underwear to help prevent further irritation. If the symptoms persist or worsen, please follow up with your doctor for further evaluation and management.

I was recently diagnosed with acne vulgaris and my doctor prescribed Doxycycline lactic acid bacillus 100 mg for two months. I'm concerned about whether it's safe to take this medication for that long. Is there anything I should watch out for or be aware of while taking it?
Doxycycline (100 mg) for 2 months is a standard treatment for acne vulgaris, and when combined with Lactic Acid Bacillus, it is generally considered safe, but monitor for potential side effects like gastrointestinal upset, photosensitivity, and antibiotic resistance.
