Question

I've been dealing with typhoid and according to my CBC report, my platelets are low. For a few months now, I've been experiencing a lot of hair loss. My doctor suggested taking biotin 5 mg for a month, but it hasn't helped. Could there be something else causing this or any other suggestions you might have?

Question

I've been having this issue for the past six months where I notice some white patches on the glans of my penis, which come off easily after washing. Theres also a small red spot inside the foreskin with some light itching. I got a VDRL test done and it came back negative. I've been using zoster ointment, but I'm a bit worried. Whenever I have physical relations, sometimes the glans gets a bit red, and the foreskin seems to shrink and tighten. Should I be concerned about this, and is there anything else I should be doing or looking into?

Question

I've been dealing with acne scars left from a breakout I had about three months ago. While the acne itself is gone, the scars have stuck around and I'm really looking for a cream or something that can help lighten and reduce them. Could you recommend something that works well for this? I'm feeling a bit self-conscious about these scars.

Question
