I'm a 13-year-old and I'm thinking about using Garnier men's face wash, specifically the Acne Fight one. Is it safe for someone my age to use, or are there any possible side effects I should be aware of?

I've had this dry whitish patch on the shaft of my penis for about six months now, and it's got me a bit worried. The skin on that patch is kinda wrinkly, and when I wet it with water or oil, it appears to go back to normal, but it still seems a bit lighter than the rest of the skin. Should I be concerned about this? What might be causing it, and is there anything I can do to treat or improve it?

The symptoms you described, including a dry, whitish patch with wrinkly skin on the penis shaft that normalizes with moisture, could be indicative of vitiligo, eczema, or lichen sclerosus; consult a dermatologist

I'm 21 and pretty happy with my hair, but my forehead is big, and I've always admired Zayn Malik's hairstyle. I'm really hoping to achieve a similar look. Can I consider a hair transplant to make my hairline smaller? Also, I'm worried about whether hair might break or fall out after the procedure. Is a hair transplant a good idea for me?

Hair transplant surgery can indeed help. The procedure involves moving hair follicles from one part of the scalp to the balding or thinning areas. One common method is Follicular Unit Transplantation (FUT) or Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE). After a hair transplant, it is normal for the transplanted hair to shed within the first few weeks. However, this is a normal part of the process, and new hair will eventually grow in its place. It is important to follow post-operative care instructions provided by your surgeon to ensure the best results. Hair transplant surgery can be beneficial for those looking to lower their hairline and achieve a fuller head of hair. It is a permanent solution to hair loss in the transplanted areas. It is important to consult with a qualified and experienced surgeon to discuss your specific goals and expectations for the procedure.
