I'm really worried about some cuts and peeling skin on my penis. I had been using clobeta gm for a rash, but it started peeling and now the skin feels really thin. After a morning erection, the skin actually got tiny cuts. My doctor prescribed me lulimac cream, HTRZ, ATARAX Cap, and some antibiotics. The cuts aren't healing yet, and there's a light yellow-white fluid and some yellow stuff around the cuts. Do you think this is an infection? The doctor mentioned it might take 23 days to heal. Im feeling really anxious about it. Any advice on what to do while I wait?

I'm 31 and my beard, which has been nice and dark for 25 years, started turning grey about 6-7 months ago, and now it's just getting worse. Is there anything I can do about this? Do you think I should see a doctor about it? I'm really curious if there's a medical reason or a treatment that can help.

Premature greying of hair, including beard hair, can be due to various factors such as genetics, stress, nutritional deficiencies, or certain medical conditions. One possible solution to slow down the greying process is to use a medication called Minoxidil 5% solution. You can apply it directly to the affected areas of your beard twice daily. Additionally, taking a Biotin supplement can also help improve hair health and potentially slow down the greying process. However, it is important to note that these treatments may not work for everyone and results can vary. If you are concerned about your condition and its progression, it is advisable to consult a dermatologist for a proper evaluation and personalized treatment plan.
