I'm experiencing some itching inside my penis, right from where it begins. It's really uncomfortable and makes me want to masturbate just to get some relief, but the itch doesn't go away. There's no burning when I pee, just this persistent itch. What could be causing this, and how can I make it stop?

This itching sensation inside the penis could be due to a fungal infection. You can try using an antifungal cream like Clotrimazole 1% cream. Apply a thin layer of the cream on the affected area twice a day for about 2 weeks. Additionally, you can take an oral antifungal medication like Fluconazole 150mg as a single dose. Make sure to maintain good hygiene and avoid any irritants that may worsen the itching. If the symptoms persist, it is advisable to consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation and management.

View allI've been dealing with dry and cracked skin on my right palm for quite some time now, but it doesn't really hurt. It's just a bit concerning since my left hand seems totally fine and normal. What could be causing this difference, and should I be worried or seeing someone about this?
May be due to a variety of reasons such as excessive hand washing, exposure to harsh chemicals, or environmental factors. I recommend using a moisturizing cream containing urea and lactic acid, such as Eucerin Advanced Repair Hand Cream, twice a day on the affected hand. Additionally, wearing gloves while doing household chores or using hand sanitizers can help protect the skin.

I've been using HH Lite cream at night, and it's really helped clear up my acne quite a bit. But Ive noticed my face tends to stay red a lot now. Also, whenever I have a night out with alcohol, I seem to break out with acne the next day. I tried taking an LCZ tablet for what I think might be an allergy, and it seems to help, but only to a certain extent. I'm curious about whether there are any side effects from this mix of treatments. Is there an alternative to HH Lite that might not cause redness or react with alcohol?
HH Lite cream and LCZ tablet usage may have side effects: HH Lite Cream: 1. Redness (as you've experienced) 2. Dryness 3. Itching 4. Burning sensation LCZ Tablet: 1. Drowsiness 2. Dizziness 3.
