View allI'm having a lot of trouble with itching and cuts on the skin of my scrotum, even though I've tried using different ointments. It's frustrating because the skin keeps getting dry and the cuts keep coming back. What can I do to finally get rid of this dryness and heal these cuts?
That could be fungal infection which needs both oral and topical antifungal medications and personal hygiene is more important for such condition.

I'm using minoxidil to help with hair growth and I've been at it for about a month now under my doctor's guidance. But I've noticed that I'm getting flaky white dandruff on my scalp from using it regularly. Is it normal to get dandruff when using minoxidil? Also, what would be the best way to handle it? I've heard that washing with anti-dandruff shampoo every day might not be great for my hair. What do you suggest?

I've been reading up on vitamin D and its impact on hair health, and I'm a bit concerned. I'm 23 years old and was recently told I have a vitamin D deficiency. My 25 OH hydroxy vitamin D test results show I have about 23ngmL. Could this deficiency be causing my hair loss? I'm pretty worried and would love some advice.
Vitamin D deficiency has been linked to hair loss, particularly alopecia areata, telogen effluvium, and female pattern hair loss; with a 25(OH)D level of 23 ngmL, you have a moderate deficiency; supplementing with vitamin D (1,000-2,000 IUday) and maintaining a balanced diet rich in omega-3 fatty acids, zinc, and biotin may help promote hair growth and reduce hair loss.
