Itching can be relieved by applying Moisturiser to the affected area. There are also other methods such as applying wet cloth or ice packs to the effected area or applying Calamine lotion.

I've noticed a white formation around my penis that's really irritating and makes me want to scratch. When I take a bath, the white stuff goes away and my skin is actually black. What could this be? It's starting to worry me, and I'm not sure if it's something I should be concerned about or if there's a way to treat it. Any advice would be really helpful.

I've been using Tugain 5 for a while, but my doctor recently switched me to Minokem F 5. After trying it for about two months, I'm noticing a big increase in hair fall. Im kind of worried and wondering if anyone has any suggestions or ideas about what might be going on, especially since getting an appointment with my doctor isnt that easy right now.

It seems like you may be experiencing a side effect from the new medication. I would recommend discussing this with your doctor to explore other treatment options. In the meantime, you can consider using Minoxidil solution (brand name: Rogaine) as an alternative for hair loss treatment. Apply 1mL of Rogaine solution twice daily on the scalp to promote hair growth.

I've got this black mole on the left side of my nose, and it's about 5mm wide and 2mm thick. I'm really hoping to get it removed without any scarring. Could you let me know who I should reach out to for this and what it might cost?
