I'm 16, and I've started to notice some teenstaches and a bit of a beard coming in. I'm wondering if there's a specific age I should start shaving or if it's okay to begin now. Any advice on this?

Question

I'm really worried because the foreskin on my penis is really tight and keeps getting these painful cuts. It's super uncomfortable and every time I try to clean, it gets inflamed and red. I've been using CandidB cream for the itching, but the cuts just keep coming back. Can you give me some expert advice on what to do?

Question

I've been dealing with hair loss and dandruff since 2013 and nothing seems to work. Ive tried antibiotics, tretinoin, and special shampoos, but I still have severe hair fall, with hair roots attached to these little sebum beads. It's even affecting my back and shoulders now. I don't have those dandruff scabs anymore, but my scalp gets super dry after washing and then it's oily and smells bad the next day. My vitamin D and ferritin levels are low, and even though I've taken meds for that, it hasnt helped much. My periods are lighter than they used to be, but my TSH and prolactin levels are normal, and I dont have PCOS. I also have really poor digestion and feel exhausted doing physical tasks. Can you help me figure out what's going on and what I can do?
