Question

I'm dealing with something really weird for almost a year now, the skin on my penis has been super dry. Every time I take a shower and try to clean it, the skin cracks open, which is really painful. I constantly have to put on Vaseline to stop it from drying out even more. Even the inside of the skin feels pretty dry. Any idea what's going on or what I should do?

This could be fungal infection u need to evaluate with your Dermatologist and get appropriate treatment with oral antifungal medications and topical lotions,once the infection is resolved your hair fall would come down,I suggest you not to use minoxidil with active fungal infection,above this your personal hygiene care is more important.

Question

I'm dealing with acne and scars on my back and it's really frustrating. My doctor recommended Acnesol, but a few months back I tried Persol Forte and it worked better than Acnesol. The problem is that the acne comes back after I stop using it. Right now, I've gone back to using Acnesol. What should I do to finally get rid of this acne for good?

Question

I'm really worried because I had a Fungal Infection Tinea cruris in my groin area last year and got it treated with Lulifin cream and Abzorb powder. Now, I'm seeing some traces of the infection coming back, and Lulifin is nowhere to be found in stores. Could you suggest an alternative to luliconazole that I can use?

Question

I'm really worried because I've developed mouth ulcers about 45 days after being exposed to the HIV virus. Could this be a symptom of HIV? I'm not sure which test I should take right now to check for HIV. Can you guide me on what's the best step to take?
