I've been dealing with some itching and redness on my penis and the surrounding areas lately. It's been bothering me so much that I decided to apply an antibacterial and antifungal cream for about 4-5 days now, but I'm not really seeing much improvement. I'm starting to get a bit worried about what could be causing this and whether there's something else I should be doing. Is there a point where I should be concerned enough to see a doctor, or maybe there's a different treatment I should try?

Allergy on the penis and surrounding areas with itching and redness can be due to a fungal infection. I recommend using an antifungal cream like Clotrimazole 1% twice daily for 2 weeks. Additionally, you can take an oral antihistamine like Cetirizine 10mg once daily to help with the itching. Make sure to keep the area clean and dry to promote healing.

View allI'm worried about taking Curlzfin 1mg because I've been having hair fall issues. I read about all the side effects and I'm really concerned. Plus, if I stop taking it, will the hair that's grown just fall out again? Could you please let me know if there are any long-term risks or if there's an alternative treatment?
No need to worry you are using very low dose of it,consume it and follow your doctors advice

I'm really curious, is aloe vera gel actually good for anal use? I've been dealing with rashes down there, and after applying aloe vera, the problem seems to have improved. Can I use it regularly on my anus? I sometimes get anal chafing and rashes from dryness and was wondering if aloe vera is okay to use for that. Or maybe theres a specific gel or ointment youd recommend for dealing with these kinds of rashes and chafing?
This could be fungal infection u need to evaluate with your Dermatologist and get appropriate treatment with oral antifungal medications and topical lotions,once the infection is resolved your hair fall would come down,I suggest you not to use minoxidil with active fungal infection,above this your personal hygiene care is more important.

Can I use Evion 400 on my face every night? I've heard it's an antioxidant and good for the skin, but I'm wondering if it's safe to do this regularly. Is there anything I should be worried about?
Evion 400 is a brand name for Vitamin E capsules. It can be beneficial for the skin as it is an antioxidant. You can puncture the capsule and apply the oil directly to your face overnight. However, it is recommended to do a patch test first to check for any allergic reactions. Apply a small amount on your inner arm and wait for 24 hours to see if there is any redness, itching, or irritation. If there is no reaction, you can apply it on your face daily.
