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.

View allI've been really worried about these itchy rashes that have come back again on my body, and I'm not sure why they're happening. A while back, I had rashes on my face and scalp, and after seeing a local doctor, I found out I had a high IGE level of 930. The meds seemed to help back then, and my rashes went away, but now they're back even though my IGE level is down to 330. I stumbled upon something online about Staphylococcus aureus possibly being the cause, and on top of all this, I'm dealing with digestion problems. I'm really confused and would love some guidance to figure out what's going on. Could these issues be connected, or am I looking in the wrong direction?
Staphylococcus aureus is a type of bacteria commonly found on the skin and in the nose, which can cause infections, including skin conditions like atopic dermatitis, eczema, and impetigo; given your history of recurring itchy rashes, high IgE levels, and digestion problems, it's possible that S. aureus is contributing to your symptoms, especially since S. aureus can produce toxins that exacerbate skin conditions and may also be linked to gut health issues; consult a dermatologist or an allergist to discuss

I had eye herpes a while back in October 2016, and since then I've been left with these scars on my forehead. It's been about four months now. I've been using Demelan cream twice a day, and at night, I apply Aziderm cream for about 15 minutes. Is there anything else I should be doing, or do you think this routine will eventually help with the scars? I'm a bit worried and would love some advice.

I'm dealing with dandruff and someone suggested I try KZ lotion. Can you tell me how to use it properly? Like, should I apply it a few hours before showering, and does my hair need to be dry or wet when applying it? Also, do I need to use any oil beforehand?
CreamGelLotion: Wash and dry the infected area of the skin. Take a small amount of creamgellotion on the finger and gently rub on the clean and dry affected area and surrounding skin. It is only for external use. Avoid contact of creamgellotion with the nose, mouth, or eyes. In case it comes in contact with these areas accidentally, rinse with water thoroughly. Wash your hands before and after using creamgellotion if hands are not the affected area to prevent the spread of infection.Shampoo: Wash your hair with the shampoo and leave it on for 3 to 5 minutes. Then, rinse thoroughly with water.
