I accidentally drank hot water that was around 60 or 70 degrees. My lips and tongue got burned, and I still feel a burning sensation, but the color hasnt changed and there are no burn marks. My lips have started to recover a bit, but my tongue, especially the underside, still has severe issues. It's painful to eat. Is there any ointment or medication you recommend for my tongue?

I'm having some trouble with cracked skin on my penis and it's really painful to touch. It's making sex super uncomfortable and I'm not sure what to do about it. Could this be something serious or is there a way to treat it at home? Any advice would be appreciated.

#NAME?

I'm a 23-year-old guy and I've been noticing I've been losing hair more than usual lately. My dad's side doesn't have great hair either, but he's not bald yet. I've given minoxidil a shot but it didn't really help. My hair density is super low right now, but my hairline is still intact. Is a hair transplant my only option? Or am I too young to go down that road?

Hair transplant may not be the immediate or only solution for you. Consider medical treatments like minoxidil, finasteride, or PRP first, as they can slow or even reverse hair loss. You are not too young for a transplant, but its usually best to wait until your hair loss pattern is more stable.
