Question

I'm really concerned because my 26-year-old daughter-in-law just noticed a white patch on her back. Her father has vitiligo, and I'm worried it might be related. Could this be a sign of vitiligo too, and what should we do next?

Can you tell me if there are any side effects from using Follihair and biotin regularly for a long time?

Question

I'm really concerned because I was just scratching my balls and out of nowhere I felt this sharp pain. When I checked, I noticed that the skin on my left testicle looked really dry and it seemed like it was cracking or cutting up. This isn't the first time it's happened either, and I just can't figure out why this keeps coming back. Could you help me understand what's going on?

Question

I'm experiencing some really annoying itching in my scrotum, especially at night. And when I'm walking or moving around, it really bothers me in the groin area. It's just starting, so I can usually control the urge to scratch, but it gets tough sometimes. Do you have any idea what might be causing this or what I can do about it?
