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 allCould you tell me how I should be using glycolic acid 612 cream? I'm wondering if it's safe or okay to use this cream indefinitely.
Glycolic acid 6-12% cream is used to treat various skin concerns like acne, fine lines, wrinkles, hyperpigmentation, and dull skin tone; it should be used under dermatological guidance, starting with lower concentrations (6%) and gradually increasing as your skin becomes more tolerant; while it can be used long-term, it's essential to follow a consistent skincare routine, use sunscreen daily, and have regular follow-ups with your dermatologist to monitor skin health and adjust the treatment plan as needed, with some studies suggesting that long-term use (over 6-12 months) can lead to sustained improvements in skin texture and appearance.

I'm curious if applying oil to my hair is really necessary. Does it help with hair regrowth or offer any benefits? Could you explain a bit more about this?
Applying oil to the scalp can help improve the health of the hair and scalp. It can help moisturize the scalp, reduce dandruff, and improve the overall condition of the hair. However, there is limited scientific evidence to support the claim that applying oil alone can regrow hair. For hair regrowth, it is recommended to use medications like Minoxidil solution 5% applied twice daily on the scalp. This medication has been shown to promote hair regrowth in some individuals.
