I'm dealing with a fungal infection on my penis and FourDerm cream helped clear it up in just a few days, but now I have about 23 spots left. One of them is a noticeably bigger red spot. Are these spots part of the healing process, or should I be worried? How long might it take for my skin to look normal again?

View allI've been told to start using MX 5 solution every night for my hair fall issue, but I'm confused because I read online that it's meant for men only. Is that true? And I've also come across some info about potential side effects like weight gain. Is that something I should be concerned about?
Minoxidil 5% solution is commonly used for hair loss in both men and women. It is not exclusively for men. As for side effects, weight gain is not a common side effect of minoxidil. The most common side effects include scalp irritation, itching, and unwanted hair growth on other parts of the body. It is important to follow the recommended dosage and application instructions provided by your healthcare provider.

Hey, I'm kind of worried because the skin on the head of my penis is peeling and it's getting red. I'm not sure what to do about it. If anyone has any advice or suggestions, it'd be really helpful.
You may be experiencing symptoms of balanitis, which is inflammation of the head of the penis. I recommend using an antifungal cream such as Clotrimazole (Canesten) twice a day on the affected area after gently cleaning it with warm water. Additionally, keeping the area clean and dry, avoiding irritants such as harsh soaps, and wearing loose-fitting underwear can help with the healing process. If the symptoms persist or worsen, please consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation and management.
