Hey, so I noticed this red spot on my foreskin a couple of weeks ago. It wasn't itchy at first, but now it seems like it's spread around my penis and it's started itching. I'm really worried it might be an STD or something. Any idea what this could be?

Telsartan 50 to Amlip 5:_
The change from Telsartan (an angiotensin receptor blocker) to Amlip (Amlodipine, a calcium channel blocker) might be due to:

Possible Reasons for Uncontrolled BP:
- Inadequate dosage or frequency

- Balanced diet (low sodium, high potassium)

Potential Adjustments:

I've just started using this morr5 stuff in the morning and the regrowth serum at night, and now I'm noticing these white flakes on my scalp. Plus, when I wash my hair in the morning, I find about 15-20 strands falling out. Is this a normal reaction when you first start using these hair treatments? I only began last Saturday.
After applying Morr5% in the morning and Regrowth Serum at night, it is not uncommon to experience some side effects such as white flakes on the scalp and increased hair shedding, especially during the initial days of using these medications. This can be a normal reaction as your scalp adjusts to the new products. To address the white flakes on your scalp, you can try using a gentle anti-dandruff shampoo. As for the increased hair shedding, it is important to continue the treatment as prescribed and monitor the situation. If the shedding persists or worsens, you may consider consulting your healthcare provider for further evaluation.

I've got this ringworm rash that's really itchy, and I'm not sure how to handle it. Should I be washing it with neem soap, using Dettol antiseptic, or is it okay to just use normal water? I'm a bit worried about what's the best approach here. What do you suggest?
Candid cream for local application is advised for 3 weeks, along with tab flucanozole 150 mg once a week for 2 weeks is advised to the patient.
