I recently had unprotected sex during my period, and a couple of days later, I noticed red rashes on the head of my penis with a slight itching sensation. Should I be worried about these symptoms, and what could be causing them?

The symptoms you are experiencing could be due to a possible infection. I recommend using an antifungal cream like Clotrimazole 1% cream. Apply a thin layer of the cream on the affected area twice a day for about 1-2 weeks. Additionally, you can take an oral antifungal medication like Fluconazole 150mg as a single dose. It is important to maintain good hygiene and avoid any sexual activity until the symptoms resolve completely. If the symptoms persist or worsen, it is advisable to consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation and management.

View allI've noticed a couple of small black spots on my scrotum that are about the size of a pimple. I'm really worried because I don't know what these could be. It's a bit embarrassing to talk about, but I recently shaved down there and it even bled from one of the spots. It healed but then the spot formed again. Can you help me understand what's going on?
Possible Causes* 1. *Ingrown hairs*: Shaving can cause hairs to become trapped, leading to inflammation, bleeding, and scarring. 2. *Folliculitis*: An infection of the hair follicles, which can cause redness, swelling, and pus-filled bumps. 3. *Seborrheic keratoses*: Benign growths that can appear as small, dark spots. 4. *Melanotic macules*: Small, benign areas of pigmentation.

I'm dealing with alopecia barbae and it's really stressing me out. I'm desperate to find out what the best treatment options are to help manage or hopefully overcome this. Also, how much time does it typically take to see any improvements?
Alopecia barbae, which is a type of hair loss that affects the beard area, can be treated with minoxidil solution. You can apply minoxidil 5% solution twice daily on the affected area. It may take several months to see significant improvement, and treatment may need to be continued long-term to maintain results.

I've been dealing with this black scar on my upper lip ever since I waxed it five months ago, and it's starting to worry me. I've tried using Mederma SPF 30 cream, but it doesn't seem to be helping much. I've attached an image of the scar. Could you recommend a good cream or medicine that might work?
