I've noticed that every time I have a hot bath or shower, my face stays red and feels like it's burning for a few hours afterward. It gets better with ice, but only when the skin is cool. There's no rash, just redness and warmth when I touch it. Should I be worried about this?

I'm really unsure about what to do. A local mentioned I might have eczema, and I've tried various creams like Fourderm, but nothing seems to work permanently. I was taking Candiforce 200 and it did help, but now I've got typhoid and had to stop. The problem is, the eczema goes away when I use medicines and creams, but then it just comes back. Is Candiforce the best option for me, or should I be trying something else? I'm looking for a more permanent solution.

Hey, so I've noticed over the past 56 days that the skin on my testicle sack is getting dry and scaly. When I'm bathing, a thin scaly layer peels off. I've always been good with hygiene, so I'm not sure why this is happening. Today it started itching, and when I rubbed it gently, it felt like a burning sensation, kind of like a paper cut. After cleaning it in the shower, the whole area turned red. I've tried using creams like itch guard, dermigo5, and luliconazole which I got from the medical store, but nothing seems to be helping. I felt a bit embarrassed to go to the doctor in person. I'm just worried about what's going on. Do you know what this could be and should I see a dermatologist or a sexologist about it?

You may be experiencing a fungal infection in the skin of your scrotum. The burning sensation, dryness, scaliness, and redness are common symptoms of such an infection. I recommend using an antifungal cream like Clotrimazole 1% twice daily for 2 weeks. Make sure to keep the area clean and dry. If the symptoms persist or worsen, it would be best to consult a dermatologist for further evaluation and management.
