I'm really concerned because I was just scratching my balls and out of nowhere I felt this sharp pain. When I checked, I noticed that the skin on my left testicle looked really dry and it seemed like it was cracking or cutting up. This isn't the first time it's happened either, and I just can't figure out why this keeps coming back. Could you help me understand what's going on?

That could be fungal infection which needs both oral and topical antifungal medications and personal hygiene is more important for such condition.

I'm really confused about something I had oral herpes for the first time about three weeks ago, and I can't figure out how I got it. The blisters have disappeared and the skin's healed, but I'm worried about whether it's safe to have sex, oral sex, or kiss my partner now since she hasn't been infected. Can you help?

Better to refrain from seual activities until you are healed completel because that could cause cross infection to your partner

I'm 21 and have been struggling with really sweaty palms and feet, even when I'm in air-conditioned places. I went to a dermatologist, and they recommended ALDRY lotion, but I've been using it for five months now and it hasn't helped at all. What else can I try? It's really frustrating.
