How do I treat the recurring red spots on the penis head?

Hello doctor,

I have had minor red spots on my penis head for the last five months. So I consulted an online general practitioner, who advised me to use 1 % Clotrimazole and hydrocortisone ointment for seven days and to continue using Clotrimazole alone for 14 days. I have been using this ointment twice per day as instructed. The spots had started disappearing, but then I had been out of town for three days, and I completely forgot about applying the cream. After three days, I started noticing the same red spots, so I consulted him again, and he advised me to restart the treatment. Now my yeast infection has disappeared completely. But today, while I was taking shower, I again noticed some red rash along with spots, worse than before. So I had a general health test done two months ago, which revealed no evidence of diabetes. I also had two pints of beer yesterday, and I drink alcohol rarely. So does drinking cause a yeast infection? I also had an STD test to rule out its possibility. I am attaching pictures as well as my health reports. I want to know the reason for the recurrence of these red rashes and spots. Kindly help. Thank you.

What is the treatment for red boils on the face?

Hello doctor,

On the lower part of my face (beard area) and at the temple area I get red boils. It has been happening for the last two years. I use Nuforce-GM cream and then they go off but keep coming back. I am a bit obese, age 41, height is 5 feet 7 inches and weight is about 209 lbs, and a software engineer (most of the time sitting on a computer chair). last time I conducted a complete body test, everything was normal - except for a little bit of high cholesterol level, sugar level, and deficiency of vitamin D (due to working from home). I take two revital per day and four tablets of fish oil per day (for immunity and general health). I was suggested to use Nuforce-gm and Quadriderm - and then it used to go off, but it kept recurring. Also sometimes these boils appear behind the head (upper rear neck). Please suggest a permanent treatment (a combination of tablets and cream might be the best suggestion). Also, please share some insights if it is a skin infection or if it has got to do something with sugar levels. I have used low GI sugar for the last four years, to keep low sugar levels.

Can laser treatment be used to treat skin discoloration?

Hello doctor.

I recently visited a dermatologist, where I live, to be treated for skin pigmentation on my face. However, I was given tretinoin cream and advised to get the PicoSure laser treatment. I would like to hear your thoughts on this laser therapy in further depth. Will this assist me in solving my difficulties, and will there be any concerns with this specific laser?
