I'm really worried about my husband. He's been scratching his private parts for years now, and he says using prickly heat powders or itching creams helps for a bit, but it's only temporary relief. He insists it's just a habit and nothing's wrong, so he doesn't see a point in visiting a doctor. But honestly, it feels off to me. Could this be a sign of something serious? Should he actually get it checked out? Is there anything I should be doing or suggesting to him?

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.

View allI've been dealing with these constant headaches and my whole body just won't stop itching. Honestly, it feels like I'm getting poked by a thousand needles, and I've noticed some red marks popping up in a few spots. It's getting worse with each passing day. Could you figure out what's going on with me and what I should do?
You may be experiencing symptoms of an allergic reaction. To address the itching and redness, you can take an antihistamine such as Cetirizine (10mg) once daily. For the headache, you can take Acetaminophen (500mg) as needed for pain relief. However, it is important to identify and avoid the trigger causing your symptoms. If the symptoms persist or worsen, please seek medical attention for further evaluation and management.

I'm struggling with some pimples and the dark marks they leave on my face. I'm really looking for advice on how to deal with them and prevent more from popping up. What can I do to tackle this issue?
To treat pimples and dark marks on your face, you can use a combination of topical treatments. You can use a benzoyl peroxide gel (such as Oxy-5) for the pimples. Apply a thin layer on the affected areas once or twice daily. For the dark marks, you can use a topical retinoid cream (such as Retin-A) to help fade the discoloration. Apply a pea-sized amount on the dark marks at night. Additionally, using a sunscreen with at least SPF 30 daily can help prevent further darkening of the marks.

I'm really concerned about my hair fall. It started a couple of years ago but wasn't too bad, so I ignored it. However, since I moved to a new place and started using ground water, I've noticed a lot more hair falling out than before. Are there any precautions or steps I should take to address this issue? Any advice would be appreciated.
