I've been dealing with this itchiness and discomfort when swallowing for the past three months, and I've also noticed a white cream-like substance on the top of my penis. I started using Candid B cream on it and have taken some tablets and capsules, but I'm not sure if it's helping. Could this be something serious, and is there anything else I should try or be worried about?

It sounds like you might be dealing with a fungal infection, which is common in such areas. The use of Candid-B cream could help, but if the condition persists, its important to see a doctor for a proper diagnosis and possibly a more targeted treatment plan. Keeping the area dry and clean is also crucial for healing.

I've noticed some white patches on my scalp after I recently shaved my head, but there's no itching or anything. Could it possibly be a fungal infection or something else? What should I do about it?

I had an incident last year where I was playing cricket and got hit in my right testicle by a ball. I experienced pain for about two weeks and used cold water to help manage it. The pain has gone now, but I've noticed that my right testicle hangs lower than my left one. Is this something I should be worried about? Do you think I need to see a doctor?

I understand your concern about the injury to your right testicle. Possible Causes of the Difference in Testicle Position 1. Hematoma or Blood Accumulation: After the injury, blood may have accumulated in the scrotum, causing the testicle to hang lower. 2. Testicular Atrophy: The injury may have caused damage to the testicle, leading to atrophy (shrinkage) or a change in its position. Yes, it's highly recommended that you consult a doctor, preferably a urologist, to assess the situation and provide guidance.
