Question

I've noticed these small, cutting marks and some dryness on my penis foreskin over the past 5 days. It kind of looks like the skin is cracking. I haven't had any sexual intercourse for the last 2 months, so I'm a bit confused about what's causing it. I've tried using folic acid but it doesn't seem to be working. Do you have any idea what might be going on and what treatment I should try?

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 34 and have had dermatitis for about 15 years. Over the years, I've seen quite a few dermatologists and gotten different treatments, but they only seem to give me temporary relief. I've noticed that every time I get my IgE levels checked, they're always above 5000. I'm starting to worry about what this could mean for my health in the long run. Could these high IgE levels affect my other organs or lead to other diseases?

Question

I've got these really small blade cut marks on my leg. They're not super noticeable, but I can't stop thinking about getting rid of them for good. Any ideas on how I can permanently remove them?

Question

I've been watching a lot of videos on YouTube about Evion capsules and their effects on hair growth. I'm wondering if it's worth trying them out. Do they actually help with hair growth, and is it safe to use them for this purpose?
