I've had this painless rash on the head of my penis for the last month that's sometimes itchy. It keeps disappearing and then coming back. About six weeks ago, I had unprotected sex. Could this be a sexually transmitted disease?

It is recommended to get tested for STDs to rule out any infections. In the meantime, you can use an antifungal cream like Clotrimazole 1% twice a day on the affected area for 2 weeks. If the symptoms persist or worsen, please follow up with a healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.

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.
