I'm noticing more facial hair after using the minoxidil aminexil topical solution 5% for my hair loss issue. Should I be worried about this? Is it a common side effect or does it mean something else is happening? How can I manage or prevent this from happening? Any advice would be appreciated!

I've been dealing with some really frustrating skin issues. There are these rashes and stretch marks around my groin area, and the itching is just unbearable at times. I tried using Cosvate GM for a bit, but after I read some stuff about it, I stopped. Now I'm using an antifungal powder, but it doesn't seem to work for long, and it feels like its not a permanent fix. What do you suggest I do about this?

I'm dealing with some serious itching and irritation around my pubic area, and I'm really worried. There are these white or grey spots with light pink in between, and the skin looks different from the surrounding area. It seems like this is spreading to my groin and even affecting my scrotum, which also feels infected. It's really covering a good part of the area between my thighs, and the itching is just unbearable. What could this be, and how should I handle it?

That looks like fungal infection which needs oral and topical antifungal medication and personal hygiene is the main stay, visit Dermatologist for appropriate management.
