Could Balanitis be causing my penile infection issue?

HI, I am suffering from Balanitis - Infection of Penis and Foreskin

1 Answer

Answered on 28th Aug '24

Balanitis means the penis, as well as the foreskin, gets infected. It can cause the skin to become red, sore, and itchy. This situation arises due to germs such as bacteria or fungi. Appropriate hygiene can prevent this; ensure the area is clean and dry. If it's giving you grief, you might need a dermatologist to prescribe some cream to help clear it up.

I have been bit by a person in my hand a few says ago. The area is red now. What should I do about it?

Female | 24

The redness you see might be a cause of infection. It can be managed by washing the area properly with soap and water. Next, put an over-the-counter antibiotic ointment and cover it with a bandage. If the redness starts to expand, you get a fever, or if there is pus, seek medical help immediately.

A couple days ago i noticed a large lump underneath one of my armpits. a few weeks prior my armpit had been feeling very sore and painful but i just recently looked and saw a large lump and there was some sort of discharge leaking from it.. a few days later it’s gotten somewhat smaller but now there is a nasty raw scab growing around it and it hurts and itches. also the center of the lump is red and sticking outward and looks like it’s bleeding.

This could be a clue to some infection. See a dermatologist immediately for an accurate diagnosis and proper treatment. Immediate medical treatment is vital in such situations.

Anus haemorrhoids not bleeding only itching

Female | 30

Hemorrhoids cause­ itchiness. They're puffy ve­ins close to the rectum. Along with itching, a pain or bulge­ may form there. Sitting a long while, pushing hard during bowe­l movements, or being ove­rweight can worsen them. For itching re­lief, use soft wipes, take­ warm baths, don't scratch. Always keep that area tidy and arid.

Hello I'm chandana from India and I'm 25 years old.I have been struggling with numerous facial skin issues, including dark spots, large open pores, pimples, wrinkles, fine lines, and marks, for the past nine years. Despite trying various products, nothing has proven effective. As a result, I am losing confidence in social situations, and I feel that people are not favorably inclined toward me. I seek a solution to these persistent problems.

Female | 25

I understand your concerns about facial skin issues. It's important to see a dermatologist for a proper diagnosis and treatment plan. They can offer targeted solutions for dark spots, open pores, pimples, wrinkles, fine lines, and marks. A dermatologist may recommend treatments like chemical peels, laser therapy, or prescription medications. They will also help you establish a skincare routine suited to your skin type.

Pitti and kujli rash padh rahe hain aur Kyon chal rahi hai

Male | 22

The most common reasons behind this are allergies and skin irritation. You should pay attention to the products you use because they should not contain any harmful ingredients. To fight against this problem, moisturize well and avoid using soaps and chemicals that are too harsh.
