I'm noticing something that looks like perioral dermatitis around my mouth and chin. The only change in my life recently is that I moved to a new place with really hard water. Could the water be causing this? Also, I tried using lotion but it just made things flakier and scalier. I even used a prescription steroid cream and that didnt seem to work either. What do you think might be happening?

yes

I'm a 24-year-old guy and I'm really worried because I've got a red pimple on the head of my penis, and there's some fluid discharge from under the foreskin along with swelling. Can you help me figure out what might be going on?

From the description , it is most likely a veneral infection.Each infection has a different kit as treatment so it should be examined physically by a dermatologist to administer the appropriate kit.Consult the doctor asap.
