I'm feeling really uncomfortable with a red, burning sensation on my skin after shaving my pubic hair around the testicle area. I think I might have scratched myself. What should I do about this irritation and is there a way to soothe it? Im a bit worried about it getting worse.

I'm really worried about this genital wart around my anus. I started using Podowart after talking to my doctor, but now the whole area is swollen and has turned a whitish-red color. The wart still hasn't fallen off, and there's a weird rotten smell coming from the skin. Could this mean the wart virus is spreading? Is there an antibiotic I should use to prevent any infection? It's even making it hard for me to sit or go to the bathroom.
