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 struggling with really bad acne on my face, shoulders, and back for nearly a decade now. A doctor recently told me to take Azithromycin 250 tablets and use BETNOVATEN with Betamethasone and Neomycin, but I haven't noticed any changes. Could you please suggest what I should do next or if there's anything else I should try?

it seems like acne vulgaris which is aggressive,and as azithromycin is not working on you have to switch to other group of drugs, no need to worry visit yuour dermatologist for alternate approach,consume balanced diet and more fruits for a better result,personal hygiene is important.

I've been dealing with this frustrating issue of having large, dry pimples mostly on the left side of my face. They sometimes hurt a bit if I press on them, and they're pretty stubbornthey never really go away completely and seem to come back over and over, taking ages to heal. I keep my face clean with face washes and mild soaps, and I don't usually use any creams or moisturizers. My job keeps me indoors, so I'm not really exposed to things like sun or pollution. I've been using Surfaz SN cream, which worked before but now doesn't seem to do much. Do you have any suggestions for creams or skin lotions that could help clear up my skin?

Seems like you are dealing with persistent acne on the left side of your face. Since Surfaz SN cream is no longer effective, I recommend trying a combination treatment. You can use a combination of Clindamycin gel in the morning and Adapalene gel at night. Apply a thin layer of Clindamycin gel in the morning after washing your face, and then apply Adapalene gel at night before bedtime. Make sure to use a sunscreen during the day as these medications can increase sensitivity to the sun. Additionally, continue with your good hygiene practices and consider incorporating a gentle moisturizer into your routine to prevent dryness. If the acne persists, consider consulting a dermatologist for further evaluation and management.
