I'm a guy who sleeps with guys and I've been pretty active when it comes to oral and anal sex, sometimes without protection. I noticed I've got these round red rashes on my palms and feet that don't itch, and they've been around for like six months. I tried allergy meds, but they're not going away. Plus, I've started getting these molluscum contagiosum warts on my chest, elbow, and even my anal area. My serology test came back as weakly reactive for the RPRVDRL test. Could these be early signs of an STD? I'm thinking about trying Benzathine penicillin injections. Do you think it's safe, and are there any side effects I should worry about?

I've noticed my hair is falling out really fast these days, like 30-40 strands every day, and my hairline seems to be receding daily. I started doing this ancient yoga thing I found online called Balayam nail rubbing, and some reviews mentioned there's usually an initial shedding phase of around 3 months. They said the hair fall would stop after that, but it's not happening for me. So, I'm a bit worried because I quit doing the technique, and my hair fall has increased. Also, hair loss runs in my familymy dad was half baldand my diet is kind of low on protein. I'm just trying to figure out how to slow down the hair loss, and it would be amazing if it could stop altogether. Any advice or recommendations?
