I've been dealing with a vitamin D deficiency and I'm taking uprise D3 60k once a week for it. Lately, I've noticed I'm losing a lot of hair and it's not growing back properly. What should I do about this? Can I take a biotin supplement to help? If so, what's a good one to consider?

I've tried using some general skin creams like cebet and btex, and even the dk jel, but the ringworm just keeps getting worse. Now I've got these 67 rings on my left leg and hand. Can you suggest any effective treatments?

I'm trying to figure out the best way to remove hair from my private parts. I used a Philips trimmer, but it was painful. I also thought about using hair removal cream, but I'm concerned about getting an infection or having an allergic reaction. Do you have any advice on how I can safely remove hair down there?

I've noticed three dark moles suddenly showing up on my foreskin over the last couple of days. They're about 6mm, 5mm, and 4mm in size and are really close to each other. They don't itch or hurt, and I haven't had any other issues with them. But, I've been dealing with a UTI for a few months now. Should I be worried about these moles? Could they be a sign of some kind of skin cancer? I'm feeling pretty anxious about it.
