Question

I've noticed some white patches popping up around my hairline and over my left eyebrow, and they seem to be multiplying. There's no pain, irritation, or itching, but I've been dealing with a dry scalp. I'm getting a bit worried about it. Could it be something serious? What should I do about it?

The white patches near your hairline and left eyebrow, accompanied by a dry scalp, could be indicative of pityriasis versicolor, a fungal infection, or possibly vitiligo, a condition causing skin pigmentation loss; consult a dermatologist for a proper diagnosis and treatment,

Question

I've been struggling with pimples and pimple marks on my face for the last three years, and nothing seems to help. I've tried different face creams, vitamin E tablets, and even acne tablets. I've consulted so many doctors, but I'm not seeing any results. Do you have any advice or suggestions on what I should try next?

Question

I'm dealing with red spots on my penis again after having them a year ago and getting treated. Now, every time I masturbate, they come back. Plus, if I keep the area dry, it just gets super dry and shiny. I usually masturbate about three times a week. Can you help me figure out what's going on?

Question

I've been feeling really weak lately, and my legs and back start to ache if I stand for more than thirty minutes. I also think my immunity might be low. My latest tests say my Vitamin B12 is at 142 and my Vitamin D3 is 13.4. I'm wondering if I should consider getting injections for both. What would you recommend?
