I've been dealing with some red spots or maybe an infection on my penis foreskin recently. I tried using a fourderm tube because a chemist recommended it, but it seems to only provide temporary relief. I'm really looking for some proper advice on what to do next. Could you help me understand what's going on?

I'm experiencing this burning sensation on my scrotum, and my skin's turning red. It's not constant, but kind of comes and goes. Is there something I should be doing to ease this feeling? Would using something like Dettol be a good idea? I'd really appreciate any advice on what precautions to take to prevent this from happening again.

Could be due to a skin irritation or infection. Dettol is not recommended for use on the scrotum as it may further irritate the sensitive skin in that area. To help relieve the burning sensation and promote healing, you can try using a soothing cream or ointment containing zinc oxide or calamine. Additionally, keeping the area clean and dry is important.
