I'm really worried about my situation. I've been married for 6 years and have a kid, and recently, the foreskin of my penis has become really dry and reddish. The skin flakes off like dandruff which makes it really uncomfortable and irritating, though there's no itching. This started happening about 3 months ago after I had a yeast infection. I already saw my family doctor and used the cortico cream treatment, but it hasnt gotten any better. I havent had sex in two months because I'm afraid of making it worse or causing more problems. Ive never experienced anything like this before and its truly getting me down. Can you please give me some advice?

I've noticed a red bump near my butt crack that's been there for quite a while now. It looks like it could be a zit or maybe a blister, and I'm kind of worried about what it could be and what I should do about it. Any idea what it might be or how I can treat it?
