I'm really worried about my hairline; it's receding and my hair is getting super thin. I went to see a doctor and he prescribed me Tricosilk Max 5, but I didnt notice any improvement, so I stopped seeing him. A while later, I started using Tricosilk again, but now that it's unavailable, I switched to Mintop 5. Is it okay to continue with this? Should I be doing something else?

I'm noticing a keloid on my chest, but I haven't had any injuries or surgeries before. It doesn't hurt, but I'm curious if it's something that's considered healed or if it's something I should be concerned about. Could you give me some insight into this?

I've been noticing these red bumps that aren't itchy on the glans of my penis for the past few days. Could you let me know what might be causing them and suggest any treatment options?

Consult a urologist or dermatologist, for a proper diagnosis and treatment plan, as red, non-itchy bumps on the penis glans can be caused by various factors, including Fordyce spots, pearly penile papules, cysts, or STIs.
