I've been dealing with a few warts at the base of my penis and used podowart on them, but now the area around it is really hurting and looks like it's burnt. What should I do to treat this?

I've been dealing with some issues for the past 10 months involving my penis. I'm experiencing symptoms like khaijal, danesu, jankhujli, and a burning sensation after I pee. It's really uncomfortable and I'm not sure what's causing all of this. Could you help me understand what's going on and what I might do about it?

I strongly advise you to consult a dermatologist or a urologist as soon as possible for a proper diagnosis and treatment.

I've been dealing with a persistent fungal infection for the past three months and nothing seems to work. I've tried loads of medicines, Patanjali products, Candid dusting powder, and even coconut oil, plus all sorts of advice from different people. Sometimes it clears up a bit, but then the itching and growth come back. I'm really at my wit's end with this. I went to see a skin specialist too, but the meds haven't helped at all in the last two months. Can you offer some advice or alternatives I can try? Its getting really frustrating.

Try a combination therapy of oral antifungal medication along with topical antifungal cream. You can start by taking Tab Terbinafine 250mg once daily for 4-6 weeks along with applying Clotrimazole cream twice daily on the affected area. Make sure to keep the affected area clean and dry, and avoid wearing tight clothing. If there is no improvement or if the infection worsens, please follow up with your doctor for further evaluation and management.

I've been using Betnovate cream for about three years to help with pimples and ended up liking the way it lightened my skin tone. But every time I try to stop, by the second day my face gets itchy, breaks out, and the skin tone starts looking dull. I saw some advice online about gradually reducing how much and how often I use the cream, but I'm worried. What's the best way to safely stop using it? Is there anything else I can do to control the pimples and get my skin tone back to normal without itching?

It is important to gradually taper off the use of Betnovate cream to minimize withdrawal effects. You can start by reducing the frequency of application. For example, if you were using it twice a day, you can switch to once a day for a week, then every other day for another week, and so on. Additionally, you can consider using a milder steroid cream like hydrocortisone during the tapering process to help with any rebound effects. It is also important to focus on a good skincare routine to help maintain skin health during this transition period. Remember to consult with your healthcare provider for personalized advice and guidance on discontinuing the use of Betnovate cream.
