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?

Consult a urologist or dermatologist for personalized guidance, and consider self-care measures like gentle cleansing, avoiding irritants, and using fragrance-free products to manage dryness and discomfort.

I'm dealing with a lot of hair fall and also have an anal fistula. My hair keeps falling no matter what I try, and the doctor said I need surgery for the fistula soon. What should I do about both issues?
To address both hair fall and an anal fistula, it's important to focus on reducing stress, managing the fistula with medical intervention, and addressing potential underlying causes of hair loss. For the fistula, the doctor's recommendation for surgery should be followed. For hair fall, explore potential causes like stress, fungal infections, or nutritional deficiencies, and consider seeking professional advice for appropriate treatment.

I've been getting this weird mark that looks like a hickey on my neck. It's shown up three times in the exact same spot since last fall. The thing is, I know it's definitely not a hickey, and it doesn't itch or hurt. I'm pretty nervous because I haven't done anything that might cause it. I'm 39 and in decent health, and even using hydrocortisone cream hasn't helped. It's hard to see a doctor because by the time I get an appointment, it disappears. It just pops up out of nowhere. What do you think might be going on?
