I've been noticing some white scaling on the forehead of my penis that keeps coming back, even though I wash it regularly with soap. It's also looking redder than usual, but there's not much itching. I'm having a hard time finding doctors who recognize these symptoms. Could you help me understand what's going on?

A Candida infection, also known as genital thrush, is a common yeast infection that can affect both males and females. In men, thrush affects the head of the penis and the foreskin.A healthcare provider may use a scalpel or tongue depressor to gently scrape some of the skin from the infected area. The sample is then examined under a microscope by a pathologist to identify the fungus.

I'm looking for a good skin brightening cream for my face that doesnt have any side effects. Right now, Im using a glycolic acid cream with a concentration of 6. Do you think this could lead to any side effects?

Glycolic acid cream 6% can cause side effects such as redness, irritation, dryness, and peeling of the skin, especially if not used properly. It is important to use sunscreen during the day when using glycolic acid to prevent sun sensitivity. As for a skin brightening cream without side effects, you can try using "Kojic acid cream" in the evening. Start by applying a small amount every other night to see how your skin reacts, and gradually increase to nightly use if tolerated well. Remember to use sunscreen during the day to protect your skin.
