I've been having some serious issues with irritation on my penis head, and it's been peeling since a few days ago. It's really uncomfortable, especially when I pee because it's painful. Just yesterday, the skin on the edge of the penis sheath started peeling as well, and I'm seeing this white sticky discharge. Plus, the left tip of my lips seems to be showing a similar kind of problem. I'm really worried about what's going on. Can you help figure out what's happening or suggest what I should do next?

You may be experiencing a fungal infection. I would recommend using an antifungal cream such as Clotrimazole 1% cream. Apply a thin layer of the cream on the affected areas twice a day for about 2 weeks. Additionally, you can take an oral antifungal medication like Fluconazole 150mg once a day for 7 days. Make sure to keep the area clean and dry, and avoid any irritants like scented soaps or lotions.

I'm wondering about the best order to apply my skincare products. Should I put on the depiwhite cream on my cheeks first and then apply sunscreen over my whole face, or is it better to do the sunscreen first and then the depiwhite cream where I need it? I want to make sure I'm doing it right.

You should first apply the depiwhite cream to the affected area on your cheeks and then apply the sunscreen to your full face. Make sure to follow the instructions on the depiwhite cream for the correct application. Apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen with at least SPF 30 after applying the depiwhite cream to protect your skin from harmful UV rays.

I've been dealing with oily skin and acne for a while now, and it always seems to leave scars behind. On top of that, I had pox a couple of years ago, and that also left scars. I'm really hoping to find a way to get rid of these scars. What can I do?

For acne and pox scars, consider using a gentle exfoliating routine with salicylic acid, and incorporate products containing vitamin C and retinoids to help fade scars. If the scars persist, a consultation with a dermatologist for treatments like chemical peels or microneedling might be beneficial.
