Question

I'm 25 and I've been noticing I'm losing hair around my forehead, and my hair is getting thinner every day. It used to be really thick all over my head. I'm pretty worried about this. Could you suggest what I can do to help with this problem?

Based on your description, it sounds like you may be experiencing male pattern baldness. I recommend using Minoxidil solution 5% twice daily on the affected areas of your scalp. Additionally, you can take Finasteride 1mg tablet once daily to help with hair regrowth. These medications can help slow down hair loss and promote hair growth. It is important to use them consistently for at least several months to see results.

Question

I'm noticing a keloid on my chest, but I haven't had any injuries or surgeries before. It doesn't hurt, but I'm curious if it's something that's considered healed or if it's something I should be concerned about. Could you give me some insight into this?

Question

I've recently had surgery for a pilonidal cyst about a month ago. Now I'm really concerned about it not coming back. I talked to my doctor and asked if I need to keep the hair off the area around my butt, but he said it's not necessary, just to keep it clean and dry after showers. I've been following his advice, but I'm still not completely sure because, honestly, I'm pretty hairy in that area. So, I'm wondering if getting laser hair removal could be a good idea to help prevent the cyst from recurring. What do you think?

Question

I'm dealing with these red rashes on the head and side of my penis, and theyre really itchy. I've been using this Surfaz SN cream for a while now, and it seemed to help at first, but the rashes keep coming back after a few days. This has been going on for 4 to 5 months now. I even took Fluka 150 after a chemist recommended it, but the issue hasn't fully resolved. Can you help me understand whats going on and how I can get rid of this problem for good?
