I'm noticing these red spots and some etching on the skin around my penis and also on my balls. It's been going on for about 5 days now. Could you let me know what's going on and what I should do about it?

This could be fungal infection u need to evaluate with your Dermatologist and get appropriate treatment with oral antifungal medications and topical lotions,once the infection is resolved your hair fall would come down,I suggest you not to use minoxidil with active fungal infection,above this your personal hygiene care is more important.

I've been experiencing some hair loss and recently visited a hair care doctor who recommended I use Anaphase shampoo, Racine Hair Lotion, and Trichopro Plus. I'm a bit concerned and curious if these products, especially the Racine Hair Lotion, are safe to use. Also, is this something I'm going to have to use for the rest of my life? Would love some guidance on this.
Continue same treatment.
