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 a bit of a situation and could really use some advice. I had this small pimple on my forehead, and I ended up popping it early. I cleaned it up, but there was a bit of bleeding. I used some undiluted Dettol on a cotton swab to clean it, but that just made it worse and caused some irritation and a burn. I've tried soothing it with aloe vera gel, but now there's this dark circle, and it's been a few days. Any ideas on what medicine could help clear this up quickly?

Clinsol gel for local application is advised for 3-6 weeks.

I've got this boil on my scrotum, kind of like it's filled with pus and a bit of blood at the bottom. It doesn't really hurt, but when my thighs rub against it, I get this slight burning sensation. Should I be worried or get it checked out?
