I've been dealing with a fissure for the past 6 months and had to use sitz baths in warm water. Now I'm experiencing a burning sensation on my scrotum, and I'm also diabetic. The right side of my scrotum is painful, especially at the upper end. I'm really getting mentally frustrated with all of this. What could be going on? Can you help?

I'm so sorry to hear that you're experiencing a burning sensation in your scrotum, especially after dealing with fissures for six months.
Given your symptoms and medical history, it's essential to consult a doctor, preferably a urologist or a dermatologist, to determine the underlying cause of the burning sensation.
That being said, here are some potential causes and factors to consider:
Potential Causes
- Diabetes-related complications: High blood sugar levels can damage nerves and cause numbness, tingling, or burning sensations in the genital area.
- Fissure-related complications: The sitz baths and fissure treatment might have caused skin irritation, leading to the burning sensation.
- Scrotal dermatitis: Inflammation of the scrotal skin, possibly caused by irritation, allergies, or infections.
- Balanitis: Inflammation of the glans penis, which can cause burning sensations in the scrotum.
- Nerve damage: Damage to the nerves in the scrotal area, possibly caused by diabetes, trauma, or surgery.

View allI've been dealing with severe acidity, heartburn, and gas, but thankfully that's under control now. However, I've also been experiencing a lot of hair fall, along with dandruff and acne, and my skin's been really oily. This doesn't run in my family, so I'm a bit confused. I'm currently taking the adgain hair supplement. Should I keep using it, or is it time to schedule another checkup?
It might be a good idea to consult a dermatologist or trichologist to get a better understanding of the cause of your symptoms. You can continue the Adgain hair supplement for now, but be mindful of any side effects. Make sure you're addressing both your skin and hair care routines properly and managing your diet and stress levels.

I've been experiencing a lot of hair loss over the past two months and started using Mintop 2 about 20 days ago. However, it feels like the hair loss has actually increased since I began using it. I remember last time I tried it for a month, and it seemed to help stop the hair loss. I'm 23 and female. What do you think could be happening? Could it just take more time to work, or should I be concerned?
you can switch to higher dose of topical minoxidil under trichologist guidance, before you have to check the cause of hair fall which could be due to androgen effect, any dermatophytic infection etc., consultation with Dermatologist and appropriate approach would help you.
