I've been dealing with dark skin around my underarms and bikini area for a while now, and I've tried so many creams but they haven't helped. I'm really hoping there's something else I can do to lighten these areas. Any advice would be great!

For dark skin on underarms and bikini areas, consider consulting a dermatologist for personalized advice; in the meantime, try these evidence-based remedies: kojic acid or licorice extract creams, turmeric paste, lemon juice with sugar, or cucumber and aloe vera gel, and maintain good hygiene, avoid harsh hair removal methods, and wear loose, breathable clothing to reduce friction and irritation.

I'm really worried about my hair thinning and I've heard about minoxidil for hair growth. Can you tell me which pharma company's minoxidil 5% is best for women? Also, how long should I use it to see real results?
The minoxidil 5% solution for women, commonly used for hair growth, is available under various brand names such as Rogaine or Kirkland. It is advisable to use it consistently for at least 4 to 6 months to see noticeable results. The recommended dosage is usually 1 milliliter applied to the affected scalp area twice daily.

I'm a 17-year-old who's sexually active and I'm a bit worried about something weird going on. I've noticed more and more small red dots on my penis, and though they don't hurt or itch, if I pinch them, they bleed a tiny bit and feel raw afterward. I had an accident a couple of weeks ago where I cut my foot on a rusty nail, but it seems fine with no infection. I'm on a school trip right now, so seeing a doctor isn't easy. Could this be something serious that I should get checked out? It's just strange because it started with only a few dots and now there are lots more all over the head and foreskin, and it's only been three days. Any idea what this could be?
That could be STD visit dermatologist as soon as possible for evaluation and appropriate management,refrain from sexual activity untill you are recovered.
