Question 1

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?

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 2

My lips have gotten thicker from biting them over the years. Is surgery the only way to fix this or are there other treatments? I'm worried about side effects or if the results might turn out worse, especially since it's getting more noticeable as I age and doesn't look great. What are my options?

Accepted Answer

While lip reduction surgery is the most definitive solution for thickening caused by lip biting, other treatments can help reduce the appearance and address the biting habit. These include non-surgical options like makeup, facial exercises, and staying hydrated, as well as treatments to stop lip biting itself.

Question 3

I've been dealing with really dry skin on my face and some pretty intense dark circles. There's also this dark line across my nose and a patch near it that just won't go away. I'm already on a six-month treatment for pimples that my doctor assured would help with the dark spots too, but I'm not actually seeing any change. What should I do?
