I'm looking for a minoxidil product at 5% strength that doesn't have alcohol or propylene glycol. The one I'm using right now is in lotion form, but it's causing some really bad itching. Do you have any recommendations for something else I could try?
-You can try a *minoxidil 5% foam* instead of lotion, as its alcohol- and propylene glycol-free, reducing the chances of itching. If irritation persists, consult a dermatologist for alternatives.

I'm dealing with some concerning symptoms and could really use some advice. It began with small red dots on the skin of my penis and upper thighs, which then turned into an itch that comes and goes, leaving behind black spots. Now, the itching has returned with a vengeance, it's even more intense, and my penis seems to be a bit swollen. I've ordered Scaboma, thinking it might be scabies. Does this sound like scabies to you, or should I be worried about something else? Any suggestions on what I should do next?
It sounds like you may be experiencing symptoms of scabies. Scaboma is a suitable treatment for scabies. You can apply Permethrin 5% cream (Scaboma) all over your body from neck down to toes at night and wash it off the next morning. Repeat this after 7 days. Additionally, you can take Cetirizine 10mg once daily for itching relief. Make sure to wash all your clothes, bedding, and towels in hot water to prevent reinfestation.
