I'm wondering if Soframycin skin cream is safe to use for cuts on the glans of the penis. If it's not the best option, can you suggest another cream that's more suitable for healing glan cuts? Really looking for the best recommendation.

I would recommend using an antibiotic cream like Neosporin or Bactroban. Apply a thin layer of the cream on the affected area twice a day for optimal healing. Remember to keep the area clean and dry to prevent infection.

I'm dealing with some dry skin and cracks on my scrotum, and there's a sticky fluid coming out. This has been happening for the past two days. I've also been having issues with a fungal infection that caused red rashes on my thighs, which I'm already getting treatment for. I'm kind of worried about why this new symptom has come up. Could it be related to the fungal infection treatment, or is it something entirely different? Any advice on what I should do next would be really helpful.
