I'm having a penile infection that's been troubling me for the past 20 days. I've tried applying a few creams, but nothing seems to be working. What could be causing this, and is there something more effective I should try?

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.
