I've been dealing with dead skin on my penis foreskin for about a year now. There's a lot of itching and scratching in that area, and it's really uncomfortable. I've seen a skin specialist four times, and each time they've given me a different treatment. I've used Castellani's paint and AF 400 mg, then Daktar gel with AF 400 mg, and more recently, normal saline and Onabet for 15 days. But nothing's working, and I'm really worried. What do you think I should do next?

Since the previous treatments have not shown improvement, I recommend trying a combination of Clotrimazole cream (such as Canesten) twice daily on the affected area and taking Fluconazole 150 mg once a week for 4 weeks. Additionally, practicing good hygiene, keeping the area clean and dry, and avoiding irritants can also help in managing the condition.

On top of that, I've been dealing with Keratosis pilaris from my back below the neck down to my waist and above my elbows for about 10 years now.

I've recently had surgery for a pilonidal cyst about a month ago. Now I'm really concerned about it not coming back. I talked to my doctor and asked if I need to keep the hair off the area around my butt, but he said it's not necessary, just to keep it clean and dry after showers. I've been following his advice, but I'm still not completely sure because, honestly, I'm pretty hairy in that area. So, I'm wondering if getting laser hair removal could be a good idea to help prevent the cyst from recurring. What do you think?
To minimize the risk of pilonidal cyst recurrence, consider the following: *Treatment Options* 1. *Laser Hair Removal*: Reduces hair growth, which can help prevent pilonidal cyst recurrence. Ensure you consult your surgeon or dermatologist before undergoing this treatment. 2. *Waxing or Sugaring*: Alternative hair removal methods that can help reduce hair growth. 3. *Depilatory Creams*: Dissolve hair at the surface of the skin, making it easier to remove. *Advice* 1. *Maintain Good Hygiene*: Continue to keep the area clean and dry, as advised by your doctor. 2. *Avoid Tight Clothing*: Wear loose, breathable clothing to reduce friction and irritation. 3. *Monitor the Area*: Regularly inspect the area for any signs of recurrence, such as redness, swelling, or drainage. 4. *Follow-up Appointments*: Attend scheduled follow-up appointments with your surgeon or dermatologist to ensure the area is healing properly. *Precautions* 1. *Consult Your Surgeon or Dermatologist*: Before undergoing any hair removal treatment, consult your surgeon or dermatologist to ensure it's safe and suitable for your individual case. 2. *Avoid Sharing Personal Care Items*: Prevent the spread of bacteria by using personal care items exclusively.
