I'm losing my hair a lot and it's really freaking me out. Plus, I've got this constant itching on my scalp and I have no clue what's causing it. Can you help me figure out what's going on and suggest something for the itching and hair loss? I'm really worried.

Hair loss and itching on the scalp can be due to various reasons such as fungal infections, dandruff, or even stress. To address the itching on your head, you can use a medicated shampoo containing ketoconazole or selenium sulfide. One popular brand is Nizoral shampoo, which you can use twice a week. For hair fall, you can try using minoxidil solution such as Rogaine. Apply 1 ml of Rogaine solution twice daily on the scalp where hair loss is occurring. Additionally, make sure to eat a balanced diet rich in vitamins and minerals to support hair growth

I'm really concerned because it's been a month since the skin on my penis has gotten super dry. Now there are cuts, and it's really painful. There's also a lot of irritation around the area.
