I'm really worried about my friend who's got genital herpes on his foreskin. It's weird though because he's not feeling any pain or itching at all. Is genital herpes something that happens a lot?

Genital herpes, caused by the herpes simplex virus (HSV), is not curable, but it's manageable with antiviral medications, and while it's often associated with painful blisters, some people, like your friend, may experience mild or asymptomatic outbreaks; genital herpes is relatively common, affecting an estimated 3.7 billion people worldwide, and it's highly contagious, so it's essential for your friend to consult a healthcare provider for proper diagnosis, treatment, and guidance on preventing transmission.

View allI'm having these really painful lumps under my arms and they're starting to form pus. It's super uncomfortable and only seems to get better when the pus drains out. Could you recommend a cream or maybe an antibiotic that could help with this?
It sounds like you may be experiencing an infection, possibly an abscess or hidradenitis suppurativa. I recommend seeing a healthcare provider for proper evaluation and treatment. In the meantime, applying warm compresses can help relieve pain, and an antibiotic cream like **mupirocin** might be helpful if prescribed. If the condition worsens, oral antibiotics may be necessary.

I've been dealing with hair problems for the last 23 years, and now my scalp is starting to show, especially in the middle. Can you please give me some advice on what I can do about this issue?
I recommend using Minoxidil solution 5% twice daily on the affected areas of the scalp. Additionally, you can take Biotin tablets 10,000 mcg once daily to promote hair growth and overall hair health. Make sure to maintain a healthy diet rich in vitamins and minerals, and avoid excessive heat styling or harsh chemical treatments on your hair.
