Question

Hey, I'm kind of worried because the skin on the head of my penis is peeling and it's getting red. I'm not sure what to do about it. If anyone has any advice or suggestions, it'd be really helpful.

You may be experiencing symptoms of balanitis, which is inflammation of the head of the penis. I recommend using an antifungal cream such as Clotrimazole (Canesten) twice a day on the affected area after gently cleaning it with warm water. Additionally, keeping the area clean and dry, avoiding irritants such as harsh soaps, and wearing loose-fitting underwear can help with the healing process. If the symptoms persist or worsen, please consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation and management.

Question

I've been dealing with this annoying issue for a couple of years now. I had a motorcycle silencer burn on my right calf, and while it healed, I keep getting these weird allergic reactions at the same spot. Even when I don't mess with it, I see pus-filled pores popping up there occasionally. I've tried consulting several skin specialists, but nothing seems to work long-term. What could be the reason behind this persistent problem, and do you have any advice or treatment suggestions?

Question

Im 35 and I've noticed I have a few grey hairs. Im really worried about this. Could my diet, especially eating junk, oily, and spicy foods, be contributing to this? What can I do to reduce or prevent more grey hair?
