I'm a 28-year-old guy and I've just found out my DHT levels are higher than the normal range; mine are 1221 pgml, while the normal range is 250-990. I've noticed I'm also dealing with an itchy scalp and hair loss. Could there be a link between my high DHT levels and these issues? I'm really curious if that's what's causing it and what I should do about it.

Question

I've been dealing with this stubborn fungal infection for almost 45 months now. It's between my legs near the private area and on my buttocks. Initially, it started as red patches but then turned white. My friend, who's a doctor, suggested I try IT Mac 100 tablets and ketonate cream. After sticking to this treatment for 15 days, though, the itchiness is just as bad as before. It's driving me crazy and is super annoying. Can you recommend something more effective?

Question

So, I got a really light dog bite. No blood or anything, but now I've got this redness all over my body. Is there something I should be worried about? What do you think I should do?

Question

I might have chlamydia or hemorrhoids because I've noticed a lump near my anus. There's also a cluster of acne-like bumps without any pus, almost like muscle growth. I'm really worried. Can you help me figure out what's going on?
