I've been dealing with this rash and a burning feeling around my neck and it's starting to spread. I'm currently using Acivir Cream, but I'm just worried it's not enough or if there's something else I should be trying. Is this the right treatment for what's going on, or should I consider seeing someone in person?

I'm living in Chennai and have been dealing with pearly penile papules for about 15 years now. Even though they don't cause any pain, they're like small white pimples around the head of my circumcised penis. I recently tried using toothpaste to dry them out, and it seemed like they got smaller when the skin peeled off after a week. But after about a month, they came back just like before. I've heard about CO2 laser treatments that might help remove them. Are there any dermatologists in Chennai who can offer this kind of treatment? I'm really looking to figure this out.
Can be effectively treated with CO2 laser therapy. In Chennai, you can consult with a dermatologist who specializes in laser treatments for this condition. One common brand of CO2 laser used for this purpose is the Lumenis UltraPulse. The dermatologist will determine the appropriate dosage and number of sessions required for the treatment.

I'm struggling with acne and I've heard that milk could be a factor. Could you suggest an alternative to normal milk that might help with my skin? Also, what type of milk would you recommend for someone dealing with acne issues? Would love some guidance on this!
For acne-prone skin, consider switching to low-hormone, non-dairy milk alternatives like almond milk, oat milk, or coconut milk, which are naturally rich in antioxidants and less likely to trigger hormonal breakouts; among dairy options, goat's milk or A2 cow's milk may be better tolerated due to their unique protein structures and lower hormone levels.
