I'm noticing that the skin on my penis has been feeling rough lately, and I've developed quite a few Fordyce spots. They aren't painful, but it's definitely uncomfortable for me. What can I do to soften the rough penile foreskin? Any advice or suggestions would be really helpful.

Candid cream for local application is advised for 3 weeks, along with tab flucanozole 150 mg once a week for 2 weeks is advised to the patient.

I have pigmented skin and I'm really looking for a good oil-free pigmentation cream to use at night. Do you have any suggestions?

For pigmented skin, consider using oil-free, non-comedogenic night creams containing ingredients like niacinamide, vitamin C, licorice extract, or kojic acid, such as Neutrogena Rapid Wrinkle Repair Night Moisturizer, Olay Regenerist Micro-Sculpting Cream, or La Roche-Posay Pigmentclar Eye Cream, but always patch test and consult a dermatologist for personalized recommendations.

I've had this burning sensation and itching near my penis for about a week now and I tried using Dermasure SN cream but it hasn't really helped. I'm starting to get worried about what this could be. What else should I try or do you think it's time to get checked out?

I'm dealing with a skin issue that started with white patches about two weeks ago. When I visited my doctor, I was advised to use melanocyl ointment. After using it for a week, Ive noticed a new problem: my skin is now developing dark patches instead. I'm really concerned about why this is happening. Is it normal for the skin to react this way to the ointment, or should I be worried about an allergic reaction or side effect?

Stop using Melanocyl ointment immediately and consult your doctor, as the black patches may be a sign of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH) or melanin overstimulation, and alternative treatments may be necessary.
