I'm having trouble fully retracting the skin on my penis because it seems attached to the frenulum. What can I do to address this, and is there an easy way to deal with it?

You cant remove it.if it is painful or unable to retract the foreskin,then that could be phymosis for which you have to visit your surgeon for appropriate management.

View allI'm concerned about using retino A with a 0.05 concentration. I've been using it off and on for the past two years, and more regularly on alternate days for the last year. I'm wondering if there are any side effects I should be aware of. Also, is it safe for me to keep using it for a longer period?
-Retino A (0.05%) is effective for skin concerns, but long-term use can cause dryness, irritation, or increased sensitivity. It's fine to use it regularly, but ensure you take breaks and hydrate your skin. Consult with your dermatologist to assess if it

I'm dealing with an itchy patch on my skin around the groin, and it's forming scales and wrinkles. I've tried all types of fungal and bacterial creams, but nothing seems to work. I'm really worried and not sure what to do next. Could you please help me figure out what's going on and how I can get some relief?
our symptoms are suggestive of tinea cruris(jock itch). Tine cruris is a fungal infection in the groin area. It affects mostly adult men. It's caused by a type of fungus called dermatophytes. Dermatophytes like to grow on skin that's moist and warm and thrive in areas where skin comes into contact with other skin, such as the groin or between the toes. You will have to keep the groin dry, have an antifungal tablet, antacid and a topical antifungal over the area. The following steps may help: - Avoid using oily skin products - Reduce your exposure to the sun. Exposure to sun may trigger or worsen an episode and a tan makes the rash more visible. - Do not wear tight clothing. - Change undergarments regularly - Wear breathable fabrics such as cotton to decrease the sweating. - Keep areas where there is sweat accumulation dry regularly and apply powder in those areas to reduce the moisture. If the problem is persistent or worsens I would advise you to meet a dermatologist.
