View allI've got a mark on my face from some stitches and I'm really hoping it can be removed. Could you please let me know if that's possible and what the options might be? I'm quite concerned about it.
Stitch marks on the face can be challenging to completely remove, but various treatments can help minimize their appearance; consider consulting a dermatologist or plastic surgeon for options like: topical silicone gel or sheeting, steroid injections, laser therapy, microneedling, or chemical peels to help flatten and fade the scars.

I've got rashes all over my body, and while it's getting a bit better, now I've got rashes on my penis. Some skin around the meatus has come off, and I'm really worried. I've been using povidone-iodine powder, Betadine, and taking Megazolid 600 tablets, but I'm not sure if that's helping. What should I do?
This could be fungal infection u need to evaluate with your Dermatologist and get appropriate treatment with oral antifungal medications and topical lotions,once the infection is resolved your hair fall would come down,I suggest you not to use minoxidil with active fungal infection,above this your personal hygiene care is more important.

I've noticed that my mustache, which used to be really thick just a few months ago, is now thinning out. Lately, I've been shedding a lot of hairs, more than usual, and you can see the gaps between the hairs more clearly. It still looks okay for now, but I'm worried it might not grow back to how it was before. Do you think it will grow back? Any suggestions would be really helpful.
Yes.
