I'm really worried because the skin on the tip of my penis has become dry and seems to have an allergic reaction. There's even some white discoloration around the urinary area. The skin sometimes cracks when I try to retract my foreskin and it gets really painful, even to the point where it bleeds. Could this be a fungal infection, and is there any cream or treatment you would recommend?

I recently had protected sex and gave unprotected oral sex to my friend. Afterwards, I developed angular cheilitis, but thankfully it cleared up within five days with treatment. I'm concerned though, could licking the vagina be the reason I got angular cheilitis?

.based on history that you are telling, most probably it was herpes labialis that you suffered from not angular cheilitis..

I have this 12 inch bump on my nose that just won't go away. I usually don't have acne-prone skin, but my nose pores tend to get clogged and form these flesh-tone bumps. Normally they're not a big deal, but one of them turned into this huge red bump that's really painful. It started with a lot of pain and now it's just a bump with blood and some clear fluid, but no pus. I've tried everything I can think of and it's still there. Any ideas on what this could be or how I can make it go away?

Sounds like you may be dealing with a stubborn cyst or abscess on your nose. In such cases, a topical antibiotic ointment like Neosporin can help prevent infection and promote healing. You can apply it to the affected area twice a day. Additionally, warm compresses can help reduce inflammation and promote drainage. If the bump does not improve or if you develop fever or worsening pain, it's important to see a healthcare provider for further evaluation and possible drainage.

I've been having this horrible itching that started in my hands, feet, and vaginal area about a week ago. I took levocetirizine for four days, and though it seemed to help a bit, the itching came back around day three. Now its spread to my upper back and chest. It's really uncomfortable and bothering me a lot. Could you please guide me on what might be happening and what I can do to relieve this itching?

Since you have already taken levocetirizine without much relief, I recommend trying a different antihistamine such as Fexofenadine (Allegra) or Hydroxyzine (Avil). Additionally, you can apply a soothing lotion containing Calamine to the itchy areas for relief. If the itching persists, it is advisable to consult a dermatologist for further evaluation and management.
