I'm noticing that my beard is getting white, but my hair isn't. It used to be just 56 follicles, but now it feels like about 30% of my beard has turned white in just six months. Is there something specific that causes this kind of change in beard color compared to hair? Should I be worried, and are there any ways to slow down or reverse this process?

I've noticed this dark line running from the top to the bottom of my left leg, and it's really weird because it doesn't hurt or itch at all. It was more pronounced before, but now it seems to be fading. I'm curious if this is something I should be worried about or if it's just going to go away on its own. What could it be? Any idea what's going on?

I'm a bit concerned because I started using the proanagen solution for my hair fall just like the doc suggested, but after just one use, my hair fall seems to have gotten much worse. Should I keep using it, or is this a sign I should stop? What do you think I should do?

I'm dealing with a pretty annoying fungal infection near my penis. It's causing rashes, and the irritation has been driving me crazy. I've tried loads of different medicines over the past 5 to 6 months, but nothing seems to work. I'm really concerned and wondering what else I could do to get rid of this?
