White Spots on Glans After Corticosteroid Use: Causes & Remedies

After prolonged use of corticosteroids, my glans became very red and after a while it healed. After 2 months of healing, I went to have sex but white spots started to appear on the glans. Now my glans is completely white and without sensitivity to touch and temperature (heat and cold).

You might be dealing with balanitis xe­rotica obliterans (BXO). This issue can arise afte­r prolonged corticosteroid use. The­ telltale signs are re­dness, white patches, and re­duced sensations in the glans pe­nis. To properly address BXO, medical inte­rvention is key. Doctors prescribe­ creams or perform surgery. Don't de­lay - promptly consult a dermatologist for accurate­ diagnosis and suitable treatment.

I don't know if it's jock itch because I sweat alot in that area or its am STI because I am sexually active

Male | 24

Either a jock itch or an STI can cause groin itching. Jock itch results from sweat and friction, leading to redness, itching, and rashes. An STI may have similar symptoms but is related to unprotected sex. Use antifungal creams for jock itch and practice safe sex to prevent STIs. Maintaining good hygiene is also important.

Skin problem genetic warts at anus

Female | 34

The sexually transmitted infection, human papillomavirus causes genital warts. Although certain individuals can be born with a genetic inclination to get warts, it is usually found through sexual intercourse. Genital warts must be diagnosed and treated by a dermatologist or the specialist in STDs to do it properly.

I am 23 years old and I did a breast surgery on 17th of march 2024 for removal of lump. The wound is yet to heal now. Few days after the surgery i noticed leakages from the stitches so i went back to the doctor then he stitched it again whivh made the healing process very slow. What can I do to heal the opened wound on my right breast? I find it difficult to bathe. I was prescribed ciprotab by the doctor and vitamin c (but I got the coloured ones instead) or should I have been using the white one? I already stopped the ciprotab

Female | 23

To help the wound heal, ensure that you keep it clean and dry, wash the area gently with some mild soap and water then dry. Any rough movements which might disrupt the stitches should be avoided. Consult with Your Doctor on the right type of vitamin C use, usually white because colored ones could have added ingredients. Should there be signs like increased pain, redness, swelling, or pus, then do seek medical Help immediately as this could mean infection.

Chikan pox deep small circle on mouth in central Possible to remove this problem

Male | 31

A canker sore­ might trouble your mouth. They are small, round, and painful sore­s. Stress, spicy foods, or biting your cheek can cause­ them. Try over-the-counte­r rinses or gels to ease­ pain and speed healing. Soft foods are­ better; avoid spicy or acidic ones. Give­ it time - around one or two wee­ks - and it should disappear on its own.

Female | 34

It seems like you are going through mastitis which is an infection in the breast tissue. The pus-like discharge is a sign of infection. Mastitis can result from bacteria entering the breast via a cracked nipple or blocked milk duct. It is important to keep on taking any prescribed antibiotics and not to squeeze the breast because it can make the infection worse. Ensure you feed and pump frequently in order to clear the infection. With proper treatment and rest, mastitis can generally be cured within a week.
