I've been noticing some white scaling on the forehead of my penis that keeps coming back, even though I wash it regularly with soap. It's also looking redder than usual, but there's not much itching. I'm having a hard time finding doctors who recognize these symptoms. Could you help me understand what's going on?

A Candida infection, also known as genital thrush, is a common yeast infection that can affect both males and females. In men, thrush affects the head of the penis and the foreskin.A healthcare provider may use a scalpel or tongue depressor to gently scrape some of the skin from the infected area. The sample is then examined under a microscope by a pathologist to identify the fungus.

I'm considering using Dr. Reddy's Minoxidil topical solution USP 2 for hair regrowth, but I'm not sure if I need to see a doctor for a prescription first. Is it safe to start using it on my own, or do I really need to check with a healthcare professional? I've read a bit about it but want to be certain about any risks or side effects I should be aware of. Would really appreciate your advice!
