- I'm dealing with some issues and I'm really worried about it. Recently, there's been dryness, a little burning, and itching on my penis. I've tried using Vaseline to keep it moisturized, and while the dryness has improved, the itching and some burning still persist. To give you some context, I'm in a sexual relationship with my girlfriend and we usually use protection, but we did have unprotected sex last month. Shortly after, the skin on my penis turned red and burned for a day, then went back to normal. Now, almost a month later, these symptoms showed up. I'm concerned if this could be an STD. What steps should I take to address this? Could this be something serious?
- I'm having this really painful issue with a boil, or what I think is a skin tag, near the entrance of my buttocks. Every time I go to the bathroom, it hurts quite a bit, and it's been going on for the past three days. I'm already taking some meds that my family doctor prescribed, but it doesn't seem to be getting better quickly. It's making it hard for me to sit or walk comfortably. The medicines Ive been on are Bactifix Ointment, Acemiz which is paracetamol with serratiopeptidase and aceclofenac, Onoff OZ which includes ofloxacin and ornidazole, and Rantac 150. Im a bit concerned and unsure if theres something else I should do, or if these meds take longer to work. Could it be something more serious, and should I be doing anything differently?
- I'm a 31 year old who's been dealing with some skin issues, and I'd love some insight. A few weeks ago, I started experiencing itching around my penile area and scrotum, especially on my thighs. The skin there turned darker and dry, with white patches appearing because I couldn't stop scratching. I tried using CandidB cream regularly, and it helped initially, but then I noticed a bump on my foreskin, which disappeared after applying the cream. Now, Ive cut down the CandidB to about three times a week, but my main concern is that my foreskin is super dry, slightly inflamed, and seems really thin. This just started a day ago, after having sex with my wife. I've tried using coconut oil and even Vico turmeric, but it hasn't improved. I'm also diabetic, which might be a factor. Could you give me some advice on what might be going on and what I should do next?
