Question

I'm a guy dealing with a yeast-like smell from my groin for a few months now. I've tried jock itch cream, but it's just not working. I shower twice daily and keep clean, but this odor is persistent. What could be causing this, and how can I get rid of it?

I recommend using an antifungal medication such as Clotrimazole cream twice a day for at least 2 weeks. Additionally, you can take Fluconazole tablets once a day for 7-14 days to help treat the infection from the inside. Make sure to keep the area clean and dry, wear loose-fitting clothing, and avoid sugary foods that can worsen yeast infections. If the symptoms persist, consult a healthcare provider for further evaluation.

Question

I've been really worried about something and could use some advice. During my teenage years, I used to dry masturbate a lot and often used soap as a lubricant since it was always available in the bathroom. Now, the skin on the head of my penis has become extremely dry. I haven't had any intercourse, but I constantly have to apply coconut oil and Vaseline several times a day to avoid it getting too dry. Also, I've noticed that I need to wait a bit before I can start peeing. Is there anything I can do to fully get rid of this issue?

Question

I've got these bald patches on the front part of my head, and my doctor said it's hormonal. They've advised me to use Hair4U 2 daily in the evenings. Now, I'm thinking about trying onion juice before washing my hair, but I'm not sure if it's okay to use both the onion juice and the Hair4U spray together. Can I mix these treatments, or should I be careful about it?

Question

I'm really concerned about my chest, it looks like I have man boobs and it's just not going away. I've tried all sorts of exercises but nothing seems to help. Could you recommend a good doctor for surgery or maybe give me some advice on what else I can do to fix this?
