I've been noticing something unusual after using a new towel. It left some lint on my penis, and even after drying with another towel, my skin became ashy and dry on one side. I tried using oils, but the dryness keeps coming back. Now, I've also noticed my scrotum has become dry and darker in color. What's going on here? Could the towel have caused this, or is it something else? I'm genuinely concerned and would appreciate any insight you might have.

View allI'm having this skin itching around my leg area and sometimes it even feels like it's burning a bit. I've tried using itch guard and tetmosol total, but it seems to be getting worse instead of better. It all started in the summer. Could there be a reason why these symptoms keep increasing even with treatment? Any advice on what might help or if I should be checking for something specific?

I've got this really painful lump on the left side of my butt cheek, close to the anal area. It's swollen and feels like a boil, but I can't see any opening on it. The pain is pretty intense around the lump. What could this be, and should I be worried?
You may be experiencing a condition called a perianal abscess. This is a collection of pus in the tissue around the anal opening. To help with the pain and swelling, you can take over-the-counter pain relievers like ibuprofen. However, it is important to see a doctor for further evaluation and treatment. In some cases, antibiotics may be prescribed, or the abscess may need to be drained.
