I've been dealing with these fordyce spots on my penile shaft and they just won't go away. My doctor suggested using Elocon cream, but it feels like it's just a temporary fix. The spots keep coming back and my skin gets all scaly and reddish, with some sensitivity. There's no discharge or pain, which is good, but it's still frustrating. What do you think I should do? Is there a better treatment or something I'm missing?

View allI'm having this issue with my tailbone where there's this acne or pimple-like bump that leaks some kind of fluid. It's been messing with how I sit every day because it's painful, especially during long periods. Do you think it's a cyst or something like that? I'm just really concerned and would love some insight into what might be going on.
A painful, fluid-excreting bump on the tailbone area could be a pilonidal cyst, abscess, or infected acne, and it's essential to consult a doctor, preferably A general surgeon, for a proper diagnosis and treatment to alleviate discomfort and prevent further complications.

I'm really worried because I've been dealing with itching in my testicles for the last two weeks, and it's just getting worse. I've been taking some medication for three days now, but it doesn't seem to be helping much. What should I do next?
You may be experiencing a fungal infection. I recommend using an antifungal cream such as Clotrimazole 1% cream. Apply a thin layer to the affected area twice a day for at least 2 weeks. Additionally, you can take an oral antifungal medication like Fluconazole 150mg once a week for 4 weeks. Make sure to keep the area clean and dry, and wear loose-fitting underwear to help with the itching.

I'm really struggling with my skin during the winter months. It turns really dark and dry, and oddly enough, it actually gets even darker when I use moisturizers. To top it off, I start breaking out with pimples too. It's so frustrating, because my skin is completely fine in the summersmooth, bright, and pimple-free. I'm based in Delhi, if that makes any difference. Could you help me figure out what's going on and what I can do about it?
