Redness after applying a topical ointment is not uncommon, but its essential to monitor the reaction and seek medical advice if the irritation continues or spreads. The doctor might want to adjust the treatment plan based on his skins response.

I'm constantly washing my penis, but the skin on the tip is still cracked. What could be causing this, and how can I fix it?

washing it frequently would make it dry and lack of moist, wash it when you take bath and that's enough,if it is causing symptoms like pain or burning sensation visit Dermatologist for evaluation and appropriate treatment.

I've been dealing with these red rashes around my groin area for a while now. Every now and again, small blisters pop up, but they usually go away when I use Fourderm cream. The problem is, they keep coming back pretty quickly once the cream treatment is over. I'm starting to get worried because this has been going on for quite some time. Can you give me some advice on what might be causing this or suggest a more lasting solution?
