I'm dealing with infections in my groin area, and the doctor suggested using t bac 2 ointment. Is it safe to use this on my penis as well? The skin there has turned dark, shrunk, and the foreskin is tight and not moving back easily. I'm a bit worried about this, could you advise?

It's important to follow your doctor's advice, as the T Bac 2% ointment is typically used for skin infections. Applying it on the penis should be done cautiously, especially if you're experiencing tightness and discoloration. If the skin is shrinking or becoming overly tight, I recommend consulting your doctor for a specific evaluation and tailored treatment plan.

I'm using Minoxidil and I've noticed some unwanted hair growing on my ear. Plus, I've seen an increase in hair fall on my head since I started using it. I'm curious if the hair on my earlobe will go away once I stop the Minoxidil. Should I be concerned about this?
