Is Bacitracin Advisable For Dry Skin On The Penis?
I have had dry skin on my penis shaft this winter and a few weeks ago a small bit of skin came off. The wound is not deep and doesn t hurt. I d described it as chafed or like a minor rug burn. In the past a doctor has told me Bacitracin is safe to use on my penis. Is it safe and possible helpful?

Hello dear from my opinion I am suggesting you have what will call orbital cellulitis and this might also have a link with that swelling on your scalp. On this note please take some prophylactic antibiotics prior to visit a nearby clinic for for further treatment
