Why Do I Have Skin Patches Around My Testicles?
I am a 25 year old male and I have a skin condition around my testicles. It has been for over 2 years now. It appears to be a like a patch on the skin around my testicles. I recently got married 3 months ago. About a week ago, my crotch started giving out a pungent smell similar to that of chlorine despite washing it several times a day. Also, I observed small rashes on my scrotum and the skin peels when scratching it. Please I need your help.

You might have a skin condition known as tinea cruris, or jock itch. This is a fungal infection that often affects the groin area. Symptoms include red, itchy patches of skin, a bad smell, and peeling skin. It can be caused by sweating, tight clothing, or poor hygiene. To treat it, it is important to keep the area clean and dry, wear loose clothing, and use antifungal creams.

Does Sulfamethoxazole-Trimethoprim cure Chlamydia?
Male | 19
Sulfamethoxazole-trimethoprim also recognized as Bactrim is not usually used in treating chlamydia. This is because it is a bacteria that spreads through intimate contact. This may lead to painful urination, unusual discharge, and sometimes no signs at all. Normally, antibiotics such as azithromycin or doxycycline are used to cure chlamydia. If you suspect that you have the disease, it is important to get tested and treated so as to avoid any further complications.

I've been using Clobeta Gm for my face and it works great for my skin. I've used others Creams and serums suggested by doctors and some serums by watching online suggestions but this which I brought for some fungal infection works great for my skin on my face. I've used this before about 2 years back it worked before also but I've stopped using because of fear that this might cause any problems in my future but I'm these 2 years my acne got worse I've tried all possible sources but nothing did work for my skin. After losing hope i remembered this and now I started using this and again it gave me results. I don't if something is wrong with my skin or what works for it. I just need a approval that this doesn't cause any future permanent damage in future and i also wanna know about this cream whether it is safe or not - it's clobeta GM cream ( clobetasol propionate,neomycin sulphate,miconaxole, zinc oxide and borax cream 20g) it's composition: clobeta propionate I.P 0.05% w/w ,Neomycin Sulphate I.P 0.5% w/w , Miconazole Nitrate I.P. 2.0 % w/w,Zinc Oxide I.P 2.5% w/w,Borax B.P. 0.05% w/w,Chlorocresol(as preservative) I.P. 0.1% w/w,Cream base.
Female | 19
You found Clobeta GM cream helpful. But, be careful using it long-term. Clobetasol propionate, the steroid, may thin skin or cause acne if used too long. Neomycin might irritate your skin. Miconazole kills fungus but shouldn't be used without doctor's advice over time. Consult a dermatologist to use this cream safely and avoid risks.

I am 18 years old l have used many medicines for acne but haven't changed what should I do?
Female | 18
Acne occurs when the pores get clogged with oil and bacteria. Having a bunch of medications and no benefits can be a terrible thing. It is crucial to keep in mind that everyone's skin is unique. Often an easy skincare program using mild products is the right route. Eliminate harsh chemicals and see a dermatologist to provide you with individualized recommendations.

I have hair loss and hair thinning my father have bladness
Male | 23
Hair thinning and loss often happen due to various reasons. Our genetics play a role; baldness in fathers increases changes in children. Additionally, stress, poor nutrition, and illnesses contribute to hair problems. Maintaining good diet, managing stress, and gentle handling of hair help address this issue. Using special shampoo, treatments may also promote healthy hair. Visit a dermatologist if the problem continues.

Can I take glutathione for skin whitening
Male | 15
Glutathione isn't FDA approved for skin lightening.. Limited research available.. Possible side effects.. Discuss with doctor.. it is IMPORTANT to note that the use of glutathione for skin lightening comes with SERIOUS risks.. While it is MARKETED as a "natural" alternative to traditional skin lightening treatments, there is NO conclusive evidence to support its effectiveness.. The FDA HAS NOT approved glutathione for skin lightening purposes, which means that its safety and effectiveness have NOT been thoroughly tested

Iam a 28 year old men and I have been having problems with red rashes on my penish for head and red rash on my penis foreskin and sometimes it itches..it has been comming n going for three months and burning sensation sometimes while peeing.
Male | 28
Balanitis, or inflammation of the penis, is a common disease that may be the cause of your symptoms. The red rashes, itching, and burning sensation while peeing are common symptoms of balanitis. This can be the result of a poor hygiene regimen, fungal infections, or irritation from chemicals or materials. In this regard, one should keep the area clean and dry, avoid irritants, and use antifungal creams as directed by a dermatologist.

Rash around genital area and pain
Male | 27
A rash around there can be caused by lots of things such as a fungal infection or even being allergic to the soap or laundry detergent you use. If you have this itchy rash, it might hurt too because the skin is raw from all the scratching. To make things better, try using mild unscented soap and wearing loose cotton underwear. If these suggestions don’t work then please see a dermatologist who can give you some proper advice on what to do next.

I noticed a growth around my private part but not my penis but within the layers below the penis region , and I visited a pharmacist and I was told I had genital wart . Also told to use a cream called podophyllin cream , I will like to know how long the wart stays in the body and also if it doesn’t cause cancer or diseases like hiv or aids
Male | 34
Small flesh bumps down there are caused by a virus called HPV. The virus can stay in your body for a long time. But medicine like podophyllin cream can treat the bumps. Your pharmacist will guide you on using the cream. The bumps do not cause cancer, HIV, or AIDS. But you may see small, flesh-colored bumps in your private parts. Be sure to follow the cream use instructions carefully. Keep using the cream until the bumps go away. If you have more worries or questions, talk to a dermatologist.

I have Fordyce spots or pimples or penile papules on bottom of my penis since 3 years I don't have any pain or rashes but they are spreading. Can you help me for my problem.
Male | 24
Fordyce spots are the glands which are present in everybody. These are normal and atomical structures that are more visible in few people and it is completely normal to have them. First it is advised to avoid treatment for the same. If somebody desires for cosmetic treatment then it can be taken care with radiofrequency ablation or carbon dioxide laser which will remove the glands.

I am a 21 year old female. I have a painless neck cyst of in the left size below ear of about pea size for 4-5 years. What should I do?
Female | 21
Such cysts can grow on your neck due to the blockage in the glands. It has been there for an elapsed time and no significant pain has occurred. That is probably nothing to worry about given the duration of its time there and the fact it is asymptomatic. Still, I strongly believe that expert attention from a doctor is needed.

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.

i am 32 year old female i have black heads problem in last 3 months and some black ots on hand and legs
Female | 32
Blackheads are small bumps that form when hair follicles get blocked by dead skin cells and excess oil. This can happen due to excess sebum, hormonal changes, or improper skin care. To reduce blackheads, use a gentle exfoliating scrub and a non-comedogenic moisturizer. Always clean your skin well to avoid irritation and prevent the urge to squeeze blackheads.

Considering your symptoms, you should visit a dermatologist. You may feel the roughness around the discolored parts and the pain signals that the skin is wounded and will require a doctor’s treatment.

quick thing l wanted to mention, l encountered a problem not to long ago, every night when l was going to bed l put the heater on and left it on for the whole night the heat got really intense at times even reaching 80 degrees. l did this for like 4 weeks every night. And then the bottom of my mouth got a burnt mark, it's been 5 months, and the burnt mark is still there, l've been wandering how can l get rid of this
Male | 20
You might have a thermal burn in your mouth due to the extreme heat. This usually happens when the tissues in your mouth have been exposed to high temperatures for an extended period. Sometimes, burns take some time to completely heal. To speed up the healing process, apply gels that soothe or ointments meant for mouth burns. Also, drink cold liquids and avoid eating spicy or hot foods because they can increase discomfort levels. However, if the burnt mark continues, go to see a dentist.

I have an oily face and sensitive skin .I'm not really fair ,I have a hot caramel skin .the products I use gives me skin problems always I want to know the best product to use so that I don't face those problems again
Female | 18
You have a combination skin type, which is somewhat challenging to deal with. Using the wrong products can lead to issues such as redness, itching, or pimples. Opt for mild, fragrance-free items designed specifically for sensitive oily skin. Do not use solutions containing alcohol either. Cleanse your face with a gentle cleanser and apply a light moisturizer to maintain its hydration balance. A regular care routine will help you to cope with this problem.

Male | 24
It seems like you have a case of redness on the head of your penis which neuroses. But on a bright note, your tests for HIV, HCV, VDRL, and RPR were all negative which is a good thing. The causes of redness may be irritation, fungal infection, or allergy. Seek an opinion from a dermatologist. Your symptoms can vary and they can recommend further tests or treatments for correct diagnosis and proper management.
