I'm having trouble fully retracting the skin on my penis because it seems attached to the frenulum. What can I do to address this, and is there an easy way to deal with it?

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 using Fourderm cream for about 10 days now and it helped reduce the itching quite a bit, but after a few days, the itching came back in the hairy area around my private parts, not on the penis. This has been happening for the last 6 months, and now I've also started feeling itchy in my armpits. Do you have any advice or suggestions on what medicine I should consider?

-It seems like a fungal infection, which can recur if not treated fully. Avoid using Fourderm long-term, as it contains steroids. Use an antifungal cream like clotrimazole twice daily for at least 2 weeks, keep the areas dry, and consult a doctor for furt

I've been taking cetcipl tabs for my skin allergies, but I've missed it three times. They said it needs to be taken continuously for 30 days. What should I do now?

Since you have missed a few doses, try to continue taking the medication as prescribed for the remaining days. Take one tablet of cetcip-l (cetirizine) daily for the next 27 days to complete the 30-day course. Remember to take it at the same time each day for best results.
