I'm feeling really uncomfortable because yesterday night I scratched my testicles and now they're all red and have rashes. I tried putting some coconut oil on them, but it hasnt really helped much. Could you suggest any medicine or treatment that might work?

This could be fungal infection u need to evaluate with your Dermatologist and get appropriate treatment with oral antifungal medications and topical lotions,once the infection is resolved your hair fall would come down,I suggest you not to use minoxidil with active fungal infection,above this your personal hygiene care is more important.

My hair has been falling out for about six years now, and I'm only 29. I began using Tugain 10 solution a year ago, but sometimes I forget to apply it regularly. It's been a whole year, but my hair is still falling out every day. I really want to find a way to stop this hair loss and hopefully grow new hair. What would you suggest I do?

Minoxidil 5. for local application ,once daily for 3-6 weeks is advised, tab finasteride 5 mg once daily for 3-6 weeks is advised to the patient.
