I'm dealing with this issue for about 56 weeks now. I've got these small rashes on the skin of the penis cap and the inner skin too. Sometimes they seem to clear up, but then they come back. It also hurts during sex. Can you tell me what's going on?

Recurring Elevated CRP Levels in a 3-Year-Old
Possible Causes
- Recurring infections: Frequent infections, such as ear infections, pneumonia, or urinary tract infections, can cause elevated CRP levels.
- Autoimmune disorders: Conditions like juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) or inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) can cause chronic inflammation and elevated CRP levels.
- Allergies or sensitivities: Food allergies or sensitivities can cause inflammation and elevated CRP levels.
- Gastrointestinal issues: Conditions like gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) or inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) can cause inflammation and elevated CRP levels.
Recommended Actions
- Consult a pediatrician or pediatric rheumatologist: Discuss your nephew's recurring elevated CRP levels and determine the best course of action.
- Comprehensive diagnostic workup: Consider additional tests, such as:
- Erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR)
- Liver function tests (LFTs)
- Stool tests for gastrointestinal pathogens
- Imaging studies (e.g., X-rays, ultrasound) to rule out underlying conditions
- Monitor CRP levels and overall health: Regularly check CRP levels and monitor your nephew's overall health, including his appetite, vomiting, and stool habits.
Possible Treatment Options
- Antibiotics or antivirals: If an underlying infection is identified.
- Anti-inflammatory medications: To manage inflammation and reduce CRP levels.
- Immunosuppressive medications: If an autoimmune disorder is diagnosed.
- Dietary changes: If food allergies or sensitivities are suspected.

View allI've been on Brintop F 5 for 56 months now, as my dermatologist suggested. At first, like around the first 34 months, it did wonders for meI noticed my hair thinning got so much better. But lately, Im seeing the opposite. My hair above the forehead is thinning even more now, and there's more dandruff, too. Should I bump up the strength of the lotion from 5 to 10, or would it be better to stop using it altogether?
It seems like you are experiencing some changes in your hair growth pattern and increased dandruff while using Brintop F 5. I recommend consulting your dermatologist for a reevaluation of your current treatment. Your dermatologist may consider adjusting the dosage or switching to a different medication. In the meantime, you can try using a medicated anti-dandruff shampoo like Nizoral 2% twice a week to help manage the dandruff.

I'm just wondering if drinking a lot of caffeine could cause lipomas or encourage them to grow. I usually have black coffee twice a day. Should I be concerned about this?
Drinking excessive caffeine or black coffee is not directly linked to causing lipomas or helping them grow. Lipomas are benign tumors composed of body fat, and their exact cause is unknown. However, maintaining a healthy lifestyle with a balanced diet and regular exercise is important. If the lipomas are causing any discomfort or concern, I recommend consulting a dermatologist for further evaluation and management.
