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.

I'm using Benzoyl Peroxide, Benzac AC, Acnicin, Clindamycin, and Adapalene for my skin. I'm a bit confused about how to apply them. Should I be using one at night and the other in the morning, or is it better to alternate between them? Can you help me figure out the best routine?
