Question

I'm a bit concerned because I've noticed these white patches on the skin around my scrotum, penis, and thigh. It's been about 1.5 years since I first saw them, and luckily they haven't grown in size, but the area feels slightly numb. Do you think I should be worried, and what might be causing this?

Question

I'm really worried because I've been using clove oil on my gums for about 23 days now since they seemed to be receding, but I've noticed my lips are turning dark and the corners of my mouth are even darker. When I tried rubbing the skin there, it actually peeled off like a burn would. I've put some curd on it for a cooling effect, hoping it would help, but I don't know what else I should do. Can you suggest any quick remedies to fix this?

Question

I'm currently taking finasteride 1mg and using minoxidil 5%, and I'm wondering if it's okay to add ashwagandha 500mg to the mix. From what I've gathered, ashwagandha can reduce inflammation and lower cortisol, which could be linked to DHT formation, but it also might boost testosterone levels. I'm trying to figure out if this combo might help keep my testosterone levels balanced. Lately, I've been noticing some muscle loss, inflammation, and fatigue, so I'm a bit worried if I might have low T. Can you give me some guidance on this?
