I'm having this issue where every time I masturbate or have sex, the head of my penis turns red. A while back, I had a fungal infection on my penis, and after seeing a urologist, he prescribed an antifungal cream that cleared it up. But the redness still happens when I have any sexual activity. I'm now seeing a dermatologist who suggested using Clop GM or Lobate GM and gave me some meds for my fast ejaculation problem. But nothing seems to be working for the redness. I really want to find a solution for this and have a healthy penis. Can you help me figure out what's going on here?

I've been dealing with genital ringworm and initially, it was incredibly itchy. After seeing a doctor and getting the right medication, the itchiness has eased up. But I'm really worried about the scars that are still there. It's been three months, and they just don't seem to be going away. What can I do to help clear these scars up?
To help clear the scars left from genital ringworm, you can use a topical antifungal cream containing Clotrimazole 1% twice daily on the affected area. In addition, you can also apply a skin lightening cream containing Hydroquinone 4% once daily to help fade the scars. Make sure to apply sunscreen during the day to protect the skin. If the scars persist or worsen, consult a dermatologist for further evaluation and treatment.

Can you tell me if it's possible to get dimples without having surgery? I wasn't naturally born with them, and I'm really curious if there are exercises or anything else that might help?
Unfortunately, it is not possible to create permanent dimples without surgery. Dimples are genetic traits that are caused by a small opening in the cheek muscle. However, there are some facial exercises that may help enhance the appearance of dimples. One exercise involves smiling widely and pressing your fingers into the sides of your cheeks where dimples would naturally form. Hold this position for a few seconds and repeat several times a day. Remember, results may vary and these exercises may not create permanent dimples.
