You cant remove it.if it is painful or unable to retract the foreskin,then that could be phymosis for which you have to visit your surgeon for appropriate management.

I've been dealing with this moderate acne issue for a while now because of my PCOS. I'm taking OCs and everything seemed to be under control, but now it's flaring up again. My doctor put me on Isotretinoin 10mg daily for a month and also suggested I use topical tretinoin 0.025mg once a day. Is it okay to use these two treatments together or should I be cautious about using them at the same time?

Yes you can use it no problem,follow your doctors advice

I'm dealing with this really annoying rash that started back in January after intercourse. It was just a rash at first but then turned into ringworm, and I've been on and off with medication. Switched to homeopathy and it seemed to help, but then I had to move to Jaipur for work and ever since, the itching has only gotten worse. What should I do?

I recommend using an antifungal cream like Clotrimazole 1% twice a day on the affected area. Additionally, taking an oral antifungal medication like Terbinafine 250mg once a day can also help. Make sure to keep the affected area clean and dry, and avoid sharing personal items to prevent spreading the infection.
