I've been having some real discomfort down there. I rubbed the area around my anus because it was irritated, and now its burning even more, and I'm noticing more skin getting affected. I tried soaking in warm water with potassium permanganate, but the burning persists. What can I do to make it better?

A long foreskin covering the penis, even during full erection, can be a concern.
Possible Conditions
- Phimosis: A condition where the foreskin is too tight or narrow, causing it to cover the glans (head) of the penis.
- Redundant foreskin: Excess foreskin tissue can cause it to cover the penis, even during erection.
Options to Consider
- Circumcision: A surgical procedure to remove excess foreskin.
- Foreskin stretching or preputioplasty: Non-surgical or minimally invasive procedures to loosen or remove excess foreskin.
- Topical creams or ointments: Applying creams or ointments to help loosen the foreskin.
Consult a
- Urologist: A specialist who can assess and advise on the best course of treatment.
- Andrologist: A specialist who deals with male reproductive health.

I'm dealing with an itching issue on my lower back that's been going on for about 2 months now, and I've also noticed some rashes in that area. I'm trying to figure out what might be causing this and what I can do to alleviate it. Any advice or suggestions would be really helpful.
It sounds like you may be experiencing a skin condition such as contact dermatitis or eczema. I recommend using a topical corticosteroid cream like Hydrocortisone 1% cream. Apply a thin layer on the affected area twice a day for up to 2 weeks. Additionally, you can take an oral antihistamine like Cetirizine 10mg once daily to help with the itching. Make sure to keep the area clean and dry, and avoid scratching to prevent further irritation. If the symptoms persist or worsen, please follow up with a healthcare provider for further evaluation.

Do acne scars go away?
That depends on the depth and type of the scars. With few types of peels and derma abrasions depth of the scars can be reduced.
