You may be suffering from male pattern baldness (Androgenic Alopecia). It is treatable through a combination of medication and lifestyle changes. You may also have underlying undetected factors which may be promoting hair loss, such as dandruff, psoriasis or seborrheic dermatitis. It is advisable to consult a dermatologist to determine the severity and extent of your condition, and start off with a treatment regimen that is suitable for you.

I recently had protected sex and gave unprotected oral sex to my friend. Afterwards, I developed angular cheilitis, but thankfully it cleared up within five days with treatment. I'm concerned though, could licking the vagina be the reason I got angular cheilitis?

.based on history that you are telling, most probably it was herpes labialis that you suffered from not angular cheilitis..

I've had a red fluid-filled cyst on my scalp for 7 years with no pain should I be worried about it and does it need surgery will they have to shave my hair for the procedure I'm really concerned

A red, fluid-filled cyst on the scalp that has been present for 7 years and is painless is likely a benign pilar cyst. While most cysts don't require treatment, it's still best to consult with a healthcare professional for proper diagnosis and to discuss if removal is recommended. Surgery is a common treatment for these cysts, but it doesn't always require shaving the hair
