I've been getting these red dots on the head of my penis after having sex or masturbating and it's starting to hurt when I try to pull back the foreskin, especially around the frenulum. The weird thing is, if I don't do anything for about 45 days, the dots go away. I went to a dermatologist who said it might be a fungal issue and gave me an antifungal cream, but it's been a month and nothing's changed. I've tested negative for HIV. Any idea what this could be and how I might treat it?

Since the anti-fungal cream prescribed by the dermatologist did not resolve the issue, it may be worth considering a different approach. I recommend trying a combination of antibiotic and steroid cream to address any possible bacterial or inflammatory component of the condition. You can apply a combination of Mupirocin ointment (2%) and Hydrocortisone cream (1%) twice daily on the affected area for 7-10 days. Additionally, practicing good hygiene, including gently washing the penis with warm water and mild soap, and ensuring proper drying of the area after bathing, can help prevent recurrence

View allI'm really worried because my wife took the i-pill about 20 hours ago and now she's got these small blisters on her back and buttocks. Should I be seeing a dermatologist about it or will they just go away on their own eventually? Also, any tips on what we can do in the meantime to help with the itching?

I accidentally left the face pack on overnight instead of the recommended half an hour, and now I have wrinkles all over my face. I'm really concerned about what might happen next. Can you advise me on what steps I should take or if there's anything specific I should be worried about?
No need to worry,that could be due to dehydration,lack of moist over skin ,apply moisturizer two times a day and stay hydrated . If its worsening or not becoming better visit Dermatologist for a better solution.
