I've been experiencing a lot of hair loss. Before I started my TB treatment, my front hairline was already thinning, but once I began the medication, it really got worse, and now I'm losing even more hair. I'm really worried about whether my hair will regrow or not. Is there anything I can do to help my hair grow back?

A couple of days ago I had unprotected oral sex with a prostitute and also had regular condom-protected sex, fingering, and kissing on her breasts and mouth. Since then, the tip of my penis has been itchy. It was more noticeable on the first day and got a bit better on the second day. Today, it's not so much itchy but I just have this kind of sensation. Afterward, about 15 minutes later, I used Betadine surgical scrub multiple times that day and once yesterday on that area and even some inside the tip, along with soap and water. Should I be worried and see a healthcare professional? Am I at risk for anything?

Given your situation, it's recommended that you visit a healthcare provider or a sexually transmitted infection (STI) clinic as soon as possible. They will assess your symptoms, provide guidance on potential STIs, and recommend testing and treatment options. Some possible concerns include: 1. STIs: Such as gonorrhea, chlamydia, or herpes. 2. Skin irritation: Allergic reactions or irritation from the Betadine scrub or soap. 3. Other infections: Like yeast infections or bacterial vaginosis. Don't hesitate to reach out to a healthcare provider. They will help you address any potential issues and provide peace of mind.

I'm thinking about trying a Vitamin C and hyaluronic acid serum for my dull and pigmented skin because a friend recommended it. My face has quite a few marks, and I'm really hoping this might help. But I'm just a bit worried and want to know if it's safe to use. Are there any specific brands you would recommend?
