I'm going through treatment for seborrheic dermatitis and it's causing some hair loss. I'm considering using minoxidil 5% on my scalp to help with the hair loss. Is it safe to use it alongside my current treatment? Would love your advice.

Minoxidil may worsen irritation if your seborrheic dermatitis is not under control, so its essential to address your scalp condition first.Consult with a dermatologist to ensure that using minoxidil with your current seborrheic dermatitis treatment is safe.

View allI'm masturbating daily and I'm a bit worried about whether this frequency might affect my sperm count. Plus, I've noticed I've got quite a few pimples on my face. I'm wondering if there might be a connection between masturbation and acne. Could you give me some advice on this?
Masturbating once a day is considered a normal and healthy frequency; research suggests that frequent ejaculation, including masturbation, may not significantly impact sperm count or fertility in healthy males; however, excessive masturbation (multiple times a day) may lead to temporary decreased sperm count, but this effect is reversible; regarding pimples, there is no direct scientific link between masturbation and acne

I'm really worried about this hair loss issue I've been experiencing near my ear. I tried using an anti-infection cream for around 20 days, but it didn't seem to help. I'm wondering if theres a treatment that could actually work. I've noticed some small black hairs growing in that area, but I'm not sure what that means. Could you help me figure out what's going on?
Based on your description, it sounds like you may be experiencing a fungal infection. I recommend using an antifungal cream like Clotrimazole 1% cream. Apply a thin layer to the affected area twice a day for 2-4 weeks. Additionally, you can take an oral antifungal medication like Fluconazole 150mg once a week for 4 weeks to help treat the infection. Make sure to keep the area clean and dry to prevent further infection. If the symptoms persist or worsen, please follow up with a dermatologist for further evaluation and management."

I've got this pigmentation on my face, mainly on my cheeks, that popped up after I had my daughter three years ago. I'm really curious and a bit worried about what it might be. Could it be related to my postpartum changes, or is there something else going on? What kind of treatment or steps should I take to manage or hopefully get rid of this pigmentation?
it is normal
