I'm noticing more facial hair after using the minoxidil aminexil topical solution 5% for my hair loss issue. Should I be worried about this? Is it a common side effect or does it mean something else is happening? How can I manage or prevent this from happening? Any advice would be appreciated!

I noticed some rashes on the outer skin of my penis about a week ago, and I've been using Candid B lotion for the past 23 days. The rashes have gotten smaller and the itching has stopped, but the rashes haven't completely disappeared. What should I do next?

Question

I'm living in Qatar and have been dealing with a fungal infection for about 11 months. I'm on treatment, but it doesn't seem to be working. Can you please give me some advice on what else I could try or if there's a different treatment approach I should consider?
