I'm dealing with a recurring itching issue in my scrotum that's been going on for about three years. I noticed it went away when I used dexoderm cream, but now it's coming back. It's not overwhelming, but it can get pretty uncomfortable at times. What could be causing this, and should I keep using the same cream or try something else?

It sounds like you may be experiencing a recurring fungal infection. I recommend using an antifungal cream like Lotrimin Ultra twice a day for 2 weeks. Additionally, keeping the area clean and dry, wearing loose-fitting underwear, and avoiding irritants like scented soaps can help prevent further irritation.

I'm really concerned about my very deep acne scars and was wondering how effective laser treatment might be. Are there any side effects to worry about with this treatment? How many sessions do you think it usually takes to see results for acne scars? Also, if you have any idea, how much would one session typically cost in Bangalore? Are there any specialists you would recommend for laser treatment?

Question

I'm really worried because I've been dealing with balanitis, specifically candida balanitis, for a while now. About a month ago, my doctor said that's what it is, but I've noticed that whenever my penis gets hard, it turns red, and that's been happening for over six months. I've used surfaz cream and some antibiotics my urologist suggested, which seemed to clear up the infection. But then after seeing a dermatologist for the infection scars, he gave me desonide cream. When I masturbated two weeks later, the red spots came back. I went back to the dermatologist, and now I'm using onabet sd lotion, a fluconazole tablet, and a tablet called dazit. I just want to know how to completely get rid of this condition. I'm also concerned if the redness when my penis is hard is due to the infection. My sugar level is 119, so I don't have diabetes, and I'm 25. What should I do?
