View allA couple of days ago I had unprotected oral sex with a prostitute and also had regular condom-protected sex, fingering, and kissing on her breasts and mouth. Since then, the tip of my penis has been itchy. It was more noticeable on the first day and got a bit better on the second day. Today, it's not so much itchy but I just have this kind of sensation. Afterward, about 15 minutes later, I used Betadine surgical scrub multiple times that day and once yesterday on that area and even some inside the tip, along with soap and water. Should I be worried and see a healthcare professional? Am I at risk for anything?
Given your situation, it's recommended that you visit a healthcare provider or a sexually transmitted infection (STI) clinic as soon as possible. They will assess your symptoms, provide guidance on potential STIs, and recommend testing and treatment options. Some possible concerns include: 1. STIs: Such as gonorrhea, chlamydia, or herpes. 2. Skin irritation: Allergic reactions or irritation from the Betadine scrub or soap. 3. Other infections: Like yeast infections or bacterial vaginosis. Don't hesitate to reach out to a healthcare provider. They will help you address any potential issues and provide peace of mind.

I'm using Glocin gel, isotretinoin gel 0.05, isotretinoin capsule Tretiva 20, and Azirich, and my skin has become really dry. However, the redness on my face hasn't improved at all. Is there something I can do about the redness on my skin?

I'm dealing with some pretty significant hair fall and I'm really hoping to put a stop to it and get my hair to be thick and dense again. I've heard about treatments like Minoxidil and Mesotherapy and I'm curious about the average cost for these. Also, once I start treatment, how long can I expect the effects to last?
Minoxidil is more affordable, with costs around 300 to 700 per month, but results only last as long as you continue using it. Mesotherapy is more expensive, typically costing 2,000 to 5,000 per session, and often requires multiple sessions to achieve noticeable results, but it can provide more long-term improvements with maintenance.
