I'm supposed to use candid LA ointment on my penis, but the tube I have doesnt mention LA, nor does it say Candid B. Are these two different creams? Also, what's the right way to apply it? Should I retract the foreskin, apply the cream, and then put the foreskin back, or apply the cream, wash it off, and then restore the foreskin?

No, it's not recommended to consume food infected by rodents, even after cooking. Rodents can contaminate food with:

Bacteria (Salmonella, E. coli, Leptospira)

Viruses (Hantavirus, Lymphocytic choriomeningitis)

Parasites (tapeworms, fleas)

Urine and feces Cooking Does Not Guarantee Safety:_

Heat may not kill all bacteria and viruses.

Toxins produced by bacteria can remain active.

Contamination can occur through packaging damage.

I'm really worried because I've been dealing with rashes on my thighs and scrotum for a month now, and more recently there's this intense burning sensation on my scrotum. What could be causing this, and how can I get some relief?

You can use an antifungal cream such as Clotrimazole 1% cream. Apply a thin layer of the cream to the affected areas twice a day for 2-4 weeks. Additionally, keeping the area clean and dry, wearing loose-fitting clothing, and avoiding scratching the area can help with healing.
