I've been having this issue for the past six months where I notice some white patches on the glans of my penis, which come off easily after washing. Theres also a small red spot inside the foreskin with some light itching. I got a VDRL test done and it came back negative. I've been using zoster ointment, but I'm a bit worried. Whenever I have physical relations, sometimes the glans gets a bit red, and the foreskin seems to shrink and tighten. Should I be concerned about this, and is there anything else I should be doing or looking into?

I'm noticing these small white bumps around my anus, and they kinda look like pimples or lumps. They started small and were really itchy, but now some have gotten bigger and there's more of them near the anal area. The itching has stopped though. I tried taking some medicines for 15 dayslike Ascazin capsules, cosmetic clear gel with clindamycin, zitcare s 1 gel, and even used dermadew bact soapbut there's been no improvement. What could this be, and what should I do next?

I've got this lump on my butt cheek, maybe about an inch or so in diameter. Sometimes it swells up, I think because of the heat or something. It's really hard not to try to pop it a bit because it sort of tears when I sit, then it releases some pus and eventually calms down. My English isn't great, but I hope you get what I'm saying. Could you help me understand what's going on here?
