I'm dealing with a really uncomfortable fungal infection on my scrotum. Its super painful, and I actually went through this same ordeal about a year ago. This time it's really red, sweaty, and has a painful liquid forming around it. What might be causing this to come back, and how can I get relief from it?

I've been dealing with this constant itching and a kind of pin-pricking sensation on my penis for over two weeks now. The skin's super dry and there are some rashes too. I'm really worried and I'm not sure what to do about it. Any suggestions?

This may be scabies or eczema. Needs urgent attention.

I've been experiencing severe hair loss, especially with nightfall, and I'm thinking about starting biotin supplements, like a 5000mcg dose, to help with hair growth. I'm also taking triphala to cool down my body and ashvashila for energy right now. I'm a bit worried, though will adding biotin really help with my situation, or is there a chance it might cause any issues with the other stuff I'm taking?

Yes you can use it that will help in strengthening your hair,ideally visit your dermatologist for evaluting cause of hair fall and appropriate management.
