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.

I've been dealing with this really frustrating skin infection near my private area, and I'm not sure what to do. It's called gachkaran, and the itching is terrible, especially at night. Do you have any advice or solutions for this?

Skin infections near the private parts can be caused by various factors such as fungal or bacterial infections. To help with itching and treat the infection, you can use an antifungal cream like Clotrimazole 1% cream. Apply a thin layer of the cream to the affected area twice a day, preferably in the morning and before bedtime. Additionally, keeping the area clean and dry, wearing loose cotton underwear, and avoiding tight clothing can also help in managing the infection. If the symptoms persist or worsen, it is recommended to consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation and management.
