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've got a bit of a problem with eczema on my scrotum and my dermatologist told me to use Mometasone Furoate Cream IP ELOCON every night. But when I looked it up, I read that it shouldn't be used on the groin area. It hurt a little at first but seemed to get better after that. I'm just really concerned and wondering if it's okay to keep using this cream. Could it affect sperm production since Im applying it directly on the scrotum? I'm pretty worried about this.

Clopivate cream for local application is advise for 7 days, if any side -effects dermatologist opinion is advised .

I'm feeling a bit better after having chicken pox for the past 12 days. Is it okay to have sex now, or would it be safer to wait a little longer?

It's great to hear you're feeling better. However, it's recommended to wait until all scabs have fallen off and your skin has healed completely before resuming sexual activity. This helps reduce the risk of spreading the virus and ensures your body has fully recovered.

I've been using Melacare for over a year now, but only occasionally and I haven't noticed any side effects. Should I stop using the cream altogether, or is it okay to continue this way?
