I'm noticing small pimples around the base of my penis, near where my pubic hair is. It's becoming quite painful and I recently had unprotected sex, so I'm starting to worry. It feels like boils are forming. What could be causing this?

It sounds like you may be experiencing a genital infection, possibly due to a sexually transmitted infection (STI) or a bacterial infection. I recommend you to use an antibiotic ointment like Neosporin and take an oral antibiotic like Azithromycin 500mg once a day for 3 days. It's important to also practice safe sex and get tested for STIs to prevent future infections.

View allI'm having a really tough time with hair fall lately, and after checking in with a dermatologist, they suggested I take Triboost tablets. The problem is, I can't seem to find these tablets in any medical store around Bangalore. Could you recommend an alternative that's more easily available? I'm kind of worried and would really appreciate your advice.
Yes you can take it no problem,follow your doctors advice

I'm thinking of starting to drink Safi to help with my skin issues, but I'm unsure about how many days I should take it for. Is there an ideal duration for drinking Safi, and are there any concerns I should be aware of while using it? I'd love some guidance on this!
The ideal duration to drink Safi for blood purification and skin health is typically recommended for a period of 21 to 42 days. It is usually advised to take 10ml to 20ml of Safi twice a day after meals.

I'm dealing with some major hairfall that's been happening ever since I bounced back from jaundice a couple of months ago. My dermatologist recommended using keraboost tablets and a hair serum. I'm trying to decide between two serums: one has Minoxidil and the other has Procapil. She said either would work based on what's available. But while browsing online, I read that stopping Minoxidil can have side effects. Does Procapil have any similar issues if I stop using it? I want to make sure I choose the option that's more sustainable for me since I can't afford something super long-term. Would love some advice on this.
Regarding your concern about the side effects of Procapil, it is generally considered to have fewer side effects compared to Minoxidil. Procapil is a combination of three active ingredients that work to improve hair anchoring, reduce hair loss, and stimulate hair growth without the potential side effects associated with Minoxidil. You can consider using a hair serum containing Procapil as recommended by your dermatologist.
