I'm really worried about my penis; there's this redness on the forehead of the skin and some small red bumps on the side. There's no itching or fluid, but it burns and irritates. I've been using Candida B, Onbet, and T Bact ointments and have tried various creams, but nothing seems to help. My skin is scratching and there's a red rash. What should I do?

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.

I've been using kz lotion for dandruff, and lately, I've noticed my hair is falling out more than usual. Could this be a side effect? I don't have thyroid issues, I take vitamin supplements, and I usually get about 8 hours of sleep each night. I'm 26 and just really worried about this hair fall. Is it normal to experience this after using the lotion?

I'm dealing with these black patches on my butt and groin area, and they're super itchy. When I scratch them, these scalelike bits come off the skin. Do you have any advice on what I can do about this? It's really bothering me.

My hairline has been receding on the left side since around August. It's only been a few months but I'm worried it might get worse. Are there any treatments or medications that can help regrow hair or at least stop the receding? I'd prefer non-surgical options if possible.

Try minoxidil or finasteride (under doctor‚Äôs advice) to stop hair loss early‚Äînon-surgical treatments work better if started early.
