I've been dealing with some pimples on my penis and testicles for the past couple of days. I'm worried because I had sex about two months ago, and I'm not sure if there's any connection. Is it normal to have pimples in that area? They really hurt and itch a lot. I tried washing them with Dettol thinking it might be some fungal thing, but it burned pretty bad. What should I do next?

It's important to avoid using harsh chemicals like Dettol on sensitive areas, as it can cause irritation. Pimples on the penis and testicles can be caused by various factors, including irritation, infection, or clogged pores. It would be best to see a healthcare provider for a proper diagnosis and appropriate treatment.
