Why is my penis head red and dry?

I have a red, dry skaly penis head. It goes like that after masturbation or a hot shower. Normally it’s just slightly red. I’ve had this for about a year now

Having a crimson, parched, and flaky penis top can be unpleasant, however, there are only a few things to take into account. After masturbation or a hot bath, it’s typical to get marginally crimson. This could be due to irritation from soaps or lotions, a fungal infection, or even sensitivity to certain fabrics. To help, try using gentle soaps, avoiding tight clothes, and keeping the area dry. If the symptoms persist, seek advice from a dermatologist who can provide the right treatment.

I am 30 years old. I am a PCOD patient and have lots of facial hair as well as on chin and neck. I want to do laser hair removal. Please tell me the cost of full face hair removal and is it effective?

Female | 30

Laser hair removal is a very effective way to reduce unwanted facial hair. It works by targeting the pigment in the hair follicle, which is why it is most effective on those with dark, coarse hair. It may require multiple treatments to achieve desired results, and many people find that laser hair removal is a permanent solution to their unwanted facial hair.

The cost of full face laser hair removal varies depending on the provider, location, and size of the area being treated.

I have developed skin infection. It's white and reddish thick dry scaly itchy skin area.

Male | Shailesh Patel

You might be suffering from a fungal skin infection known as ringworm. Ringworm can turn your skin into white, reddish, thick, dry, and scaly. Apart from that, the skin can get very itchy. Ringworm is a type of fungus that spreads through skin-to-skin contact. To help get rid of ringworm, you can use antifungal cream. However, it would be best if you cleaned and dried the area.

Ingrown nail. Looking for dermatologist

Male | 23

In case of an ingrown nail, it is recommended to visit a dermatologist. They can evaluate the severity of the other ingrown nail, provide its proper care and offer treatment alternatives. In mild cases, soaking the affected area in warm water and lifting gently under the ingrown edge may work. On the contrary, in case of more severe ingrown nail or recurrent one surgical intervention is indicated. Do not try to deal with it yourself to avoid complications or infections. The healthcare professional should be consulted for proper treatment specific to your case.

Mere bal kuch hafto se bhot tezi se jhad rhe iski vajh se m bhot presan hu mujhe ye samjh nhi a rha ki esa kyu ho rha

Female | 20

It may be because of hormonal or nutrition deficiency. Did you change anything recently in your diet? You should include protien and iron rich food in your diet. Stress is also a reason of hair loss. . . . Please make sure to take CAREFUL care of your HAIR. It is important to keep them healthy by taking a BALANCED diet and REDUCING stress. If the problem still persists, then it is better to visit a dermatologist.

is using the spoon already used by stranger cause any skin problems like shape change?

Male | 24

Using a stranger's spoon won't instantly cause unusual patterns to appear on your skin. However, it is possible to develop skin issues like infections or rashes. Your skin may show irritation through symptoms such as redness, itching, or swelling. To prevent this, it's best to always use your own spoon and sanitize it properly. If irritation does occur, applying a soothing skincare lotion can help calm the skin.

Male | 22

Jock itch is a common problem and it can be quite annoying. It is caused by a fungus that grows in warm, wet places such as the groin. The signs include the groin area being red, itchy, and having a rash. For the treatment, you can use store-bought antifungal creams. You should also make sure to keep the area clean and dry as it will help healing faster.
