Swelling and redness of the penis for a couple of days can be caused by infection (bacterial or fungal), allergic reaction, irritation from soaps or condoms, or an injury. If there is pain, discharge, fever, or difficulty urinating, it could indicate an infection that needs prompt medical attention. Avoid self-medicating, keep the area clean, and see a doctor soon to get the right treatment.

For the pimples on your face, try an over-the-counter cleanser or topical cream containing Salicylic Acid or Benzoyl Peroxide to help clear pores and reduce inflammation. The white spots on your shoulders could be a common fungal skin condition called Tinea Versicolor. This can be treated with an over-the-counter antifungal cream (like Clotrimazole) or by using Ketoconazole shampoo as a body wash on the affected area, leaving it on for 5-10 minutes before rinsing. Please keep your skin clean and dry. If these symptoms persist, consult a dermatologist for a physical examination and tailored prescription treatment.

These symptoms suggest balanitis, an inflammation of the head of the penis often caused by a yeast infection, irritation, or bacteria. First, keep the area clean and dry by washing gently with warm water only; avoid harsh or scented soaps. An over-the-counter antifungal cream like Clotrimazole (1%) applied twice daily can help if it is a yeast infection. However, avoid using strong steroid creams without a prescription. Since these symptoms can also be linked to contact allergies or sexually transmitted infections (STIs), it is highly recommended to consult a doctor or urologist for a proper physical examination and accurate treatment plan.

Cuts or cracks on the foreskin during intercourse can happen due to dryness, friction, tight foreskin, fungal infection, poor hygiene, or skin irritation. In some people, conditions such as Balanitis or a fungal infection can make the skin dry, itchy, and more likely to tear or bleed during sex. Diabetes can also increase the risk of repeated infections and delayed healing, so it may be useful to check blood sugar levels if the problem happens often. To help the skin heal, avoid intercourse and masturbation for a few days until the cuts improve, keep the area clean and dry, and wash gently with plain water instead of harsh soaps or antiseptics. Wearing loose cotton underwear may also reduce irritation. A doctor may recommend an antifungal cream such as Clotrimazole if a fungal infection is suspected, or a mild antibiotic cream if there is a bacterial infection. Avoid using steroid combination creams without medical advice because they can sometimes worsen infections and thin the skin. Using a water-based lubricant during intercourse may help reduce friction and prevent further cuts. If the foreskin feels very tight, the cuts keep recurring, there is pus, severe pain, swelling, difficulty pulling back the foreskin, or burning during urination, you should consult a dermatologist or urologist for proper examination and treatment.

Fungal skin patches (ringworm) are best treated with antifungal medicines, usually starting with creams like clotrimazole, terbinafine, or luliconazole applied regularly for at least 2-4 weeks and continued for some time even after the rash clears to prevent it from coming back. It is very important to avoid using steroid-containing creams, as they can worsen the infection and make it spread. Keep the affected area clean and dry, wear loose cotton clothing, and avoid sharing towels or clothing. If the patches are large, spreading, recurrent, or not improving with creams, a doctor may prescribe oral antifungal tablets for complete treatment.

Based on your symptoms, this is likely a fungal infection or a sweat rash, which commonly thrives in warm, moist areas. You can try applying an over-the-counter antifungal cream containing generic clotrimazole or miconazole twice daily to the clean, dry affected areas. To help it heal, keep the area dry, wash gently with mild soap, and wear loose, breathable cotton clothing. Avoid scratching to prevent further irritation. If the itching does not improve after two weeks, or if you notice increasing redness, swelling, or pain, please consult a healthcare provider for a proper evaluation.
