I'm noticing these red spots and some etching on the skin around my penis and also on my balls. It's been going on for about 5 days now. Could you let me know what's going on and what I should do about it?

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 currently taking Kerablak tablets and using Kera XL serum as my doctor recommended. Just wondering if you think these will actually help me. Any thoughts on their effectiveness?

I'm a bit concerned because I started using the proanagen solution for my hair fall just like the doc suggested, but after just one use, my hair fall seems to have gotten much worse. Should I keep using it, or is this a sign I should stop? What do you think I should do?
