I had a hair transplant done a while ago but now the areas of my scalp that were fine before are starting to thin out. What non-surgical options do I have to address this new hair loss? I'm worried it might keep spreading.

If areas of your scalp that were previously healthy are now thinning after a hair transplant, there are several non-surgical options to address this. These include hair growth medications like minoxidil or finasteride, laser therapy, nutritional supplements, and addressing any underlying scalp conditions. You could also consider a second hair transplant or Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy.

I'm taking finasteride 1mg every day for my pattern hair loss, and I've also started taking isotretinoin 5mg for my cystic acne that flares up now and then. I usually take isotretinoin for a few weeks until the acne goes away. I'm worried if these two drugs might interact with each other. Is it safe to use both of them at the same time?

Finasteride and isotretinoin can be taken together

I'm really struggling with these deep acne scars on my cheeks. The actual acne is gone, but the scars are really noticeable. I've read about subcision as a treatment option, but I'm not sure if it's the best choice for dealing with my scars. Could you suggest if subcision would work or if there's another treatment that's more effective for my situation? I'm eager to find the best solution.

I've had this painless rash on the head of my penis for the last month that's sometimes itchy. It keeps disappearing and then coming back. About six weeks ago, I had unprotected sex. Could this be a sexually transmitted disease?

It is recommended to get tested for STDs to rule out any infections. In the meantime, you can use an antifungal cream like Clotrimazole 1% twice a day on the affected area for 2 weeks. If the symptoms persist or worsen, please follow up with a healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.
