What should I do if I've put Dettol liquid directly on my pennies? I did this last night, applying it on both the outside and inside skin, and now I've got a burning sensation. Can you help me with how to deal with this?

Applying Dettol liquid directly on the penis can cause irritation and a burning sensation on the skin. It is important to wash off the Dettol immediately with plenty of water to minimize further irritation. You can apply a soothing cream containing aloe vera or calamine lotion to help calm the skin and reduce the burning sensation. Additionally, taking an over-the-counter pain reliever such as ibuprofen can help with any discomfort. If the burning sensation persists or worsens, it is advisable to seek medical attention for further evaluation and management.

View allI'm curious if there's any link between dandruff and masturbation. I've noticed that when I do masturbate during the week, I end up with a lot of dandruff in my hair, but if I don't, there's less dandruff. It's brown in color. This didn't happen before I started masturbating, but now it's becoming an issue. What could be going on here?
Dandruff in hair is usually caused by a fungal infection called Malassezia. Masturbation does not directly cause dandruff. However, stress and hormonal changes associated with sexual activity may contribute to dandruff flare-ups in some individuals. To address the dandruff issue, you can try using an anti-dandruff shampoo containing ketoconazole or selenium sulfide. Use the shampoo at least twice a week, leaving it on for 5-10 minutes before rinsing off. If the problem persists, consult a dermatologist for further evaluation and treatment.

My baby's skin gets really itchy and red whenever they sweat, and I'm really concerned about it. I took some advice from a skin doctor, and they recommended using Dermocalm and Eusome twice daily. Could you help me understand why this might be happening and if there's anything else I should be doing to help my little one feel more comfortable?

I'm looking for a minoxidil product at 5% strength that doesn't have alcohol or propylene glycol. The one I'm using right now is in lotion form, but it's causing some really bad itching. Do you have any recommendations for something else I could try?
-You can try a *minoxidil 5% foam* instead of lotion, as its alcohol- and propylene glycol-free, reducing the chances of itching. If irritation persists, consult a dermatologist for alternatives.
