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've had this white mark on my skin where I used to place a bindi, and it's been there for about a year. I stopped using the bindi because I thought the glue might be causing it, and switched to sindoor, but that didn't help either. The white spot has grown and now it itches, so I can't even use sindoor or tika on it. I'm 60 years old and I'm worried about what this could be. Could you please advise?

That could be due to allergy,visit dermatologist for appropriate management because that might need nourishing moisturiser and steroid based lotion
