Question

I'm experiencing this burning sensation on my scrotum, and my skin's turning red. It's not constant, but kind of comes and goes. Is there something I should be doing to ease this feeling? Would using something like Dettol be a good idea? I'd really appreciate any advice on what precautions to take to prevent this from happening again.

Question

I've been experiencing some roughness on the skin of my penis that began after having sex. It's gotten to the point where it occasionally bleeds, and I'm really concerned about what might be causing this. Could you help me understand what might be going on and what I should do about it?

Question

I'm dealing with some major hairfall that's been happening ever since I bounced back from jaundice a couple of months ago. My dermatologist recommended using keraboost tablets and a hair serum. I'm trying to decide between two serums: one has Minoxidil and the other has Procapil. She said either would work based on what's available. But while browsing online, I read that stopping Minoxidil can have side effects. Does Procapil have any similar issues if I stop using it? I want to make sure I choose the option that's more sustainable for me since I can't afford something super long-term. Would love some advice on this.
