I have pimples on my face and white spots on my shoulders. What medicines or creams should I use to treat them?

Asked by Male, 19 · 11 days ago

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.

I develop cuts on the front skin (foreskin) of my penis during intercourse, which sometimes bleed and itch. What could be the cause, and which treatment, cream, or medicines would help?
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.
