I've been experiencing some itching on the foreskin of my penis and noticed these bumps that get bigger when I scratch them. The itching is mostly at night when I'm in bed. I havent had any sexual activity yet. I'm also feeling itchy on my elbows and fingers, both on my hands and feet. Is this eczema or something else? And what can I do to treat it?

Hey, I've been using terbinaforce plus cream on my upper thighs for the last two weeks and the infection seems to have cleared up about a week ago. Should I keep using it even though it looks like it's cured? Just wondering what's best to do here.

It is not necessary to continue applying Terbinaforce plus cream if the infection has already been cured for a week. You can stop using the cream now.

I'm struggling with hair loss and my PRP treatment doesn't seem to be working. It's really getting me down because I've spent a lot of money, and I'm still losing hair, especially at the front. I'm desperately looking for effective suggestions so I can regain my confidence. Any advice would be really appreciated.

Only prp will not work. You are suffering from androgenic alopecia which is also called as pattern baldness. The hairs start reducing in density at the crown (top) and also the hairline starts refeeding from the front. This is usually progressive throughout life unless treated. This may also be accompanied by severe dandruff. The FDA approved treatment for this condition is a lotion and tablets. There is no other alternative. No oil or cream will magically work because the hairs are getting miniaturised and eventually disappearing due to the hormonal effects on the hair roots. consult dermatologist

I'm looking for a cream that can help reduce melanin production because I'm trying to lighten my skin tone. I've already given Skin Lite a shot, but it didn't work out as I'd hoped. Can you recommend something effective?

Your skintone is also good and equally healthy no need to change it,if you are concerned, visit Dermatologist for appropriate treatment
