Chronic diarrhea frequently irritates the delicate pelvic skin, causing itching and burning while worsening hemorrhoids. The penile discomfort may stem from shared nerve pathways in the pelvis or localized muscle tension. To find lasting relief, I highly recommend consulting a gastroenterologist to address the underlying cause of the diarrhea, as resolving this often clears up the skin irritation. A urologist can also help evaluate the penile discomfort. Please be reassured that these symptoms are very common and highly treatable once the root cause is identified.

Since topical treatments haven't worked, this could be a deeper inflammation or infection, such as folliculitis decalvans, dissecting cellulitis, or a resistant bacterial issue. The severe headaches also need careful evaluation to see if they are linked to the scalp inflammation. I highly recommend seeing a dermatologist for a scalp biopsy or culture, and your primary doctor to evaluate the headaches.

Typically, using Betadine (povidone-iodine) gargle should not affect your eyesight. If any of the liquid accidentally splashed into your eyes, it can cause temporary irritation and blurriness. This should improve on its own after gently flushing your eyes with clean water. However, if there was no contact with your eyes, or if the blurriness persists, worsens, or is accompanied by pain, please consult a healthcare professional or visit an urgent care clinic right away to ensure your safety.

The white layer and drainage you see are very likely due to tissue irritation. Repeated use of hydrogen peroxide can actually damage healthy new skin cells and delay healing, while heavy combination creams can trap excess moisture, causing the skin to look white and wet. I recommend stopping the hydrogen peroxide and combination cream. Gently wash the area with mild soap and water, keep it clean, and apply plain petroleum jelly instead to protect it. However, if the area becomes increasingly red, warm, painful, or foul-smelling, please have a healthcare professional examine it.

For five-day-old wounds on your face and hands, minimizing scars is key. At this stage, Megaheal (colloidal silver gel) is generally the better option. It keeps the skin moist, which promotes faster healing and reduces scarring. Betadine (povidone-iodine) is a powerful antiseptic excellent for initial disinfection, but using it continuously on healing tissue can dry it out and delay recovery. Wash the areas gently with mild soap, apply a thin layer of Megaheal, and keep them protected. If you notice worsening redness or pain, please consult a doctor.

When cold drinks trigger this, it is often due to temperature sensitivity causing local blood vessel changes, or silent acid reflux (laryngopharyngeal reflux), where cold liquids stimulate throat sensitivity. Other possibilities include chronic tonsil irritation or mild allergies. For long-term comfort, try drinking lukewarm beverages and keeping well-hydrated. Since antiseptic gargles aren't solving the root cause, I highly recommend consulting an ear, nose, and throat (ENT) specialist. They can gently examine your throat to find the exact cause and guide you toward lasting relief.
