I've been experiencing some mild itching inside my penis for the past 4 days. I'm really curious about what could be causing this and would love to know if there's any remedy I could try.

Itching inside the penis can be caused by various factors such as fungal infections, contact dermatitis, or sexually transmitted infections. To help relieve the itching, you can try using an antifungal cream like Clotrimazole 1% cream. Apply a thin layer of the cream to the affected area twice a day for about 1-2 weeks. It is important to keep the area clean and dry to prevent further irritation. If the itching persists or worsens, it is recommended to see a doctor for further evaluation and treatment.

View allI've been dealing with a keloid on my chest that developed after some acne, and despite getting tricort 40mg injections 11 times, I'm not seeing any improvement. I'm feeling pretty stuck and unsure about what to do next. Any suggestions or advice would be really helpful.
Since the tricort injections have not been effective in reducing the keloid, you may consider trying silicone gel sheets such as Mepiform or ScarAway. Apply the silicone gel sheets over the keloid for several hours a day to help flatten and soften the scar tissue. Additionally, you can ask your doctor about intralesional injections of 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) or verapamil, which have shown some success in reducing keloids.
