I've been dealing with this constant itching on my balls and noticed there's a light cut on the outer skin of my penis at the top. I've tried a couple of antifungal creams, including itch guard, but nothing seems to work. It's starting to worry meis there something more I should be doing or getting checked out?

I recommend trying a combination antifungal cream containing Clotrimazole and Betamethasone. Apply a thin layer of this cream to the affected areas twice a day for up to 2 weeks. Additionally, keep the area clean and dry, wear loose-fitting underwear, and avoid scratching to prevent further irritation. If the symptoms persist or worsen, please follow up with a healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.

I'm experiencing sudden hair thinning at my right temple, and I'm worried it might be traction alopecia. It's pretty unusual because I'm not even in my 20s yet, and it's really affecting my confidence. Could you offer some insight into what might be going on here?
