Ive been dealing with an infection in my groin area, and my doctor prescribed T Bac 2% ointment. Can I apply it on my penis as well? The skin near the foreskin has turned black and shrunk, and its become tight, so Im struggling to retract it.

It's important to follow your doctor's advice, as the T Bac 2% ointment is typically used for skin infections. Applying it on the penis should be done cautiously, especially if you're experiencing tightness and discoloration. If the skin is shrinking or becoming overly tight, I recommend consulting your doctor for a specific evaluation and tailored treatment plan.
