To help reduce the heat on your head and address the hair fall, you can try using a medicated shampoo containing Ketoconazole 2% to help with scalp inflammation. Additionally, taking a supplement like Biotin 10,000 mcg daily can support hair growth and reduce hair fall. Make sure to stay hydrated and manage stress levels as well, as these can also

I've noticed a tiny white seed-like thing just under the skin on the shaft of my penis, right below the head, for about 6 months now. It's not painful, hasn't changed or grown, and I can even move it around a bit under the skin. It's a bit smaller than a sunflower seed. Lots of people seem to have asked about this but I haven't found any clear answers. What could this be and is it something that can or should be removed?
Clopivate cream for local application is advise for 7 days, if any side -effects dermatologist opinion is advised .
