I'm dealing with some rash on my penis that's really painful and red. I'm a married guy, and it's affecting my sex life. There's also some itching, and even after using sefromycin, it's not improving. I'm uncircumcised and not sure who to talk to or what to do about it. My only partner is my wife, and we occasionally have oral sex. I really want to find a solution quickly. What do you suggest?

I'm dealing with a fungal infection in my private area and I'm thinking about using sapat lotion. Im a bit concerned though, does it have any steroids in it? Just want to make sure it's safe to use down there.

Sapat lotion contains clobetasol propionate, a potent topical steroid, which may not be suitable for fungal infections; instead, consider using an antifungal cream like Clotrimazole (Candid) or Miconazole (Micatin) to treat the fungal infection in your private area.

I have an abscess that's not coming to a head and keeps getting bigger each day. I'm on antibiotics but it's still itchy, hard around the edges, and soft and swollen in the middle. Will the antibiotics be enough to treat this or will I need surgery?

Large abscess that‚Äôs not draining usually needs incision & drainage.Incision helps antibiotics work;waiting may worsen infection.

I've been noticing some white streaks on the sides of my face, right on the cheekbones. They're not really spots or patches, but they definitely look fairer compared to the rest of my skin. Any idea what might be causing this?

The white streaks on your cheekbones could be due to several reasons, including hypopigmentation, vitiligo, pityriasis alba, or idiopathic guttate hypomelanosis; so consult dermatologist
