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.

My ear lobe hole has stretched out and is too big now. Is there any way to shrink it back to normal size without surgery or invasive treatments? I'm worried about how it looks and want a natural fix if possible. What options do I have?
While it's difficult to shrink a stretched ear lobe hole completely without surgery, there are a few non-surgical options that can help improve its appearance. These include earlobe support patches, dermal filler injections, and potentially, slowly downsizing your gauge size

I've been dealing with molluscum for about three months now, and it's been really frustrating. I've been visiting a dermatologist every week, and they keep removing around 45 pimples on my face each time using needling. My doctor suggested I use a spray called Glizigen four times a day and also take some tablets to boost my immunity. But honestly, I'm not really seeing much improvement. Is there something more I should be doing, or does this treatment just take more time to show results?
it takes time have patience,it will heal with time follow your doctors advise and maintain healthy lifestyle
