I've been feeling a lot of heat on my scalp lately, like my head's hot and there's this weird sensation I can't quite put my finger on. It's making me feel a bit insecure. Any thoughts on what could be going on?

You can try using a medicated shampoo containing ketoconazole or selenium sulfide to help with the heat sensation on your scalp. Additionally, taking an over-the-counter pain reliever like acetaminophen can help with any discomfort. Make sure to follow the dosage instructions on the packaging. If the symptoms persist, it would be best to consult a dermatologist for further evaluation and management.

I've been dealing with some itching in my crotch area and inner thigh, and there's also a noticeable smell. I think it might be because I work out but only shower about twice a week. I just picked up Candid TV suspension and itch guard from the chemist. I'm wondering if using these will fix the issue or if there's more I should be doing. Also, is it okay to use soap in the groin area, or should I avoid it?

No. continue same treatment.

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.

I'm noticing a lot of hair fall recently and read that Evion 400 Vitamin E capsules could help. However, I've already got EGlow 400 Vitamin E capsules at home. Are these just as effective? Also, what's the right dosage for them?
