View allI've noticed these red dot bumps on the head of my penis and a few on my scrotum, and they're really itchy. I looked it up and it seems like it might be scabies. What would be the best medication or cream to use for this, and how long should I continue treatment?
For scabies, you can use a topical medication called Permethrin cream. Apply the cream all over your body from the neck down and leave it on for 8-14 hours before washing it off. You should repeat this process in 1 week. Additionally, you can take an oral medication called Ivermectin to help treat the scabies. It is important to wash all clothes, bedding, and towels in hot water to prevent re-infestation.

I'm a guy in my mid-20s and had a healthy sex life before. I got a hair transplant in February, and my dermatologist recommended I use More F5 solution with topical 5% minoxidil and finasteride. After using it for about 17 days, applying 10 drops once a day on the transplanted area, I started having ED problems. I stopped using it immediately. It's been like 15 days since I stopped, and I might be a bit better, but I'm honestly not sure. My dermatologist then suggested minovera, which is just the topical 5% minoxidil without finasteride, and after only 2 days, I had the same erection issues, using it the same way as before. Now it's been 7 days since I quit minovera, but I'm still having ED issues. I've read reviews where people say they had these side effects even after stopping minoxidil for three months. My dermatologist says it's just temporary and all in my head since the half-life of minoxidil is 24 hours. I'm really convinced it's not just in my mind. Can you help me figure out what's going on?
It sounds like youve experienced some concerning side effects after using minoxidil and finasteride, which can sometimes affect sexual health. While your dermatologist is correct that these effects can be temporary, it's important to address your concerns seriously. I recommend consulting with a urologist or another specialist to explore any underlying issues and to get personalized guidance on managing these symptoms.

I've had this dry patch on the upper right side of my lip for about a month now. It doesnt hurt or itch, but I can definitely feel the dryness. When I woke up this morning, I actually noticed it more and even took some photos. I'm curious about what this could be. Any ideas?
Aquaphor Eucerin lip repair cream is advised for local application for 7 days, any side-effects consult dermatologist.
