I've recently noticed that I've got this scar on my buttocks that's turned into a round shape. It's been super itchy, especially at night, and I've also seen white flakes of skin peeling off. The skin's also got darker, and the whole area seems to be growing. I've tried using itch guard and onabet, but things aren't getting better. What might be causing this, and what should I do next?

View allI've had a bit of an accident where I accidentally burned the skin on my testicles with Dettol. It turned red and kind of loose afterward, but my doctor helped by giving me an injection, which seemed to get it back to its original shape. Now, I'm really anxious about whether this might cause any sexual issues down the line. Should I be worried about any long-term effects?
Chemical burns can be painful and concerning, especially when they affect sensitive areas. Chemical Burns and Testicular Health Dettol liquid contains chloroxylenol, a disinfectant that can cause chemical burns, especially if used undiluted or on sensitive skin. The burn may have caused: 1. Inflammation: Redness, swelling, and pain in the affected area. 2. Skin damage: Burns can cause skin damage, potentially leading to scarring or changes in skin texture. Sexual Health Concerns Fortunately, the doctor's prompt treatment, including the injection, helped restore the skin to its original shape. However, it's essential to address potential sexual health concerns: 1. Pain during sex: You may experience temporary pain or discomfort during sex due to the burn. 2. Skin sensitivity: The affected skin may remain sensitive for some time, potentially affecting sexual activity. 3. No long-term effects: In most cases, chemical burns on the testicles do not cause long-term sexual health problems, such as infertility or erectile dysfunction. Follow-up and Precautions To ensure a smooth recovery and minimize potential complications: 1. Follow-up appointments: Schedule follow-up appointments with your doctor to monitor the healing process. 2. Practice good hygiene: Avoid using harsh chemicals or soaps on the affected area. Instead, use gentle, fragrance-free cleansers.

I've been using Zole F for my scrotal dermatitis for a couple of days now, and I'm starting to worry because I've been sweating a lot where I applied it. The skin around that area has gotten darker, and now the top layer is peeling. Is this something I should be concerned about? Does it sound normal to you?

I've had this lump next to my nipple for what feels like forever, and I'm not really sure how long it's been there. It's kinda weird because the lump seems to get taller when my nipple gets hard, and when it's soft, the lump flattens out. It's not painful, doesn't move around, and it's pretty soft. I'm a bit worried. Why is this happening? Is it something I should be concerned about?
do one ultrasonography
