I'm 16, and I've started to notice some teenstaches and a bit of a beard coming in. I'm wondering if there's a specific age I should start shaving or if it's okay to begin now. Any advice on this?

I've noticed some wrinkles on my penis foreskin, and it has tears all around. Whenever I try to open it, it just closes back up, plus it feels pretty dry. It all started with just one tear. What's going on, and should I be worried?

I'm looking for a vitamin C serum that's good for acne-prone and oily skin. I really want something that can brighten my complexion but won't clog my pores. Any recommendations?

So I've been on rifampicin for about two weeks to treat my tuberculosis, and I've noticed that my skin is becoming darker and kind of shiny. Is this something normal? Should I be worried about this change in my skin?

Skin getting dark and shiny is not a normal side effect. This could be a sign of a serious condition called drug-induced liver injury. I recommend stopping rifampicin immediately and consulting your healthcare provider. An alternative medication regimen may be necessary.
