I'm really worried because I've noticed some of my hair falling out. Is it possible to regrow it using Indulekha or any other hair oil? I'd really appreciate any advice or suggestions.

While using oils like Indulekha can help nourish the scalp and hair, it may not be sufficient to regrow lost hair. For hair regrowth, you may consider using minoxidil solution, which is available under brand names like Rogaine. You can apply 1 ml of minoxidil solution twice daily on the scalp to promote hair regrowth. Additionally, it is important to maintain a healthy diet, manage stress, and avoid harsh hair treatments to support hair regrowth.

I'm a 31-year-old who's been dealing with some skin issues, and I'd love some insight. A few weeks ago, I started experiencing itching around my penile area and scrotum, especially on my thighs. The skin there turned darker and dry, with white patches appearing because I couldn't stop scratching. I tried using CandidB cream regularly, and it helped initially, but then I noticed a bump on my foreskin, which disappeared after applying the cream. Now, Ive cut down the CandidB to about three times a week, but my main concern is that my foreskin is super dry, slightly inflamed, and seems really thin. This just started a day ago, after having sex with my wife. I've tried using coconut oil and even Vico turmeric, but it hasn't improved. I'm also diabetic, which might be a factor. Could you give me some advice on what might be going on and what I should do next?

It sounds like you may be experiencing a fungal infection in the genital area, which is common in individuals with diabetes. I recommend you stop using candid-b cream as it may be contributing to the thinning of the skin. Instead, you can try an antifungal cream like Clotrimazole (Canesten) twice a day for 2 weeks. Additionally, keep the area clean and dry, wear loose-fitting underwear made of cotton, and avoid any irritants like scented soaps or lotions. Since you are diabetic, it's important to keep your blood sugar levels under control as high blood sugar can contribute to fungal infections. Make sure to monitor your blood sugar regularly and follow your diabetic management plan.

I'm a bit worried because when I woke up yesterday morning, I noticed some pain at the corner of my lips and a little inside my mouth. Later, I found these small, slightly painful bumps appearing out of nowhere. Could you help me figure out what might be causing these? I've attached a photo for reference.
