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.

View allI'm a 26-year-old unmarried guy and I've been having some worries about my sexual health. I've got a lean body, and for the past few years, I've been dealing with night falls. Two years ago, during an exam, something weird happened. I got goosebumps, my face turned red, and I suddenly fainted in the examination hall. This has been bothering me since then. Can you give me some advice on what might be going on or what I should do?
You may be experiencing issues related to anxiety and sexual health. For your night fall problem, you can try taking Tab. Confido 1 tablet at night before bedtime for a few months. This can help in reducing night fall episodes. For your anxiety and sudden fall issue, you can try Tab. Ashwagandha 500mg twice daily after meals. This can help in reducing anxiety and stress levels. Additionally, practicing relaxation techniques such as deep breathing exercises or yoga may also be beneficial for you. Remember to maintain a healthy lifestyle with regular exercise and a balanced diet. If the problems persist, consider consulting a healthcare professional for further evaluation and management.
