Question

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

Question

I recently noticed some warts around the base of my penis, so I tried using this product called Wart Magic. I put it on the warts three times, but after the third time, it started burning really badly and it just won't stop. I'm stuck in a training course for the next six weeks and I can't see a doctor right now. What can I do to get some relief from this burning sensation?

Question

I'm really worried about my hair and how it might be affected by my habits. I started masturbating when I was 13 and I do it quite often, sometimes even three times a day. I've noticed my hairline is starting to recede on the sides, and I'm also experiencing a bit of back pain. I'm eager to stop this behavior and I'm wondering if it's possible for my hair to grow back. Can you help me understand what's going on and how I might address it?

Question

Hey, I'm 31 and in pretty good health overall, but I've got these pimples and old acne marks on my nose that I'm trying to deal with. I've been taking the Evion 400mg, those green colored capsules, for the past three weeks. Is it okay to keep taking them? I'm just concerned if they could cause any harm to my health. Would love some advice on this!
