What all precautions should be taken to prevent getting scabies?
Hello doctor,
I have a skin concern to discuss with you. There is a bit of a scabies situation going on in the childcare centers around here. Now, my little ones, aged three and five, have started showing some skin rashes, and you know how it goes, every worried parent's nightmare. I have been doing a bit of reading, and scabies seems to be the buzzword. I have read about the mites and the itching, but I would love your input. How serious is this, especially for young kids? Are there any specific signs I should watch out for, and what is the best way to tackle it? Also, are there any preventative measures we can take at home? I would rather be safe than sorry. Please help.
Thank you.

What could be the cause of redness on the head of the penis?
Hi doctor,
I noticed redness on the penis head. It is not how it normally looks, but I have noticed this happening a few times over the last few months. In both cases, when I noticed it, I have been on or recently on Isotretinoin low dosage treatment, and I do not know if this has any relevance. Of other issues, I suffer from what doctors believe are muscle issues in my pelvic floor, which leads to soreness in the perineum after sex. This is another issue and not correlated directly to this issue though.
I do not feel any itching or pain associated with this. I believe the other times I had this, it went away after some days, but I do not know what is causing it. I only noticed it because my foreskin and urethra were slightly red than usual when I went to pee.
Please see the photos to easily see what I mean. Hopefully, someone can explain to me what this is. The last time I had it and went to my dermatologist, it had subsided before, and she saw nothing wrong with it, but now it is back. I masturbated a few hours prior and do not know if this is relevant. Also, I have been tested for everything recently regarding STDs, and I am clean and have had no sex in that time.
Thank you.
