I've been noticing these red bumps that aren't itchy on the glans of my penis for the past few days. Could you let me know what might be causing them and suggest any treatment options?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Consult a urologist or dermatologist, for a proper diagnosis and treatment plan, as red, non-itchy bumps on the penis glans can be caused by various factors, including Fordyce spots, pearly penile papules, cysts, or STIs.

View allI'm experiencing a lot of hair loss lately and I'm thinking about starting biotin capsules. Should I just go ahead and start taking them, or do I need to consult with a doctor first? Also, are there any side effects I should be concerned about?
You can consider taking biotin capsules, but consulting a dermatologist is recommended, especially if you're experiencing excessive hair loss, to rule out underlying conditions, and biotin is generally safe, but high doses may cause mild side effects like stomach upset, diarrhea, or skin rashes, so start with a low dose (2,500-3,000 mcg) and monitor your body's response.

I'm really hoping to find a good doctor who can help with treating vitiligo. I want to get rid of the symptoms quickly. Any recommendations or advice on how to find the best treatment options?
For the treatment of vitiligo and fast removal of symptoms, you can consider using a combination of topical corticosteroids like Clobetasol propionate cream along with calcineurin inhibitors such as Tacrolimus ointment. These medications can help to repigment the affected areas of the skin. Additionally, phototherapy with narrowband UVB or excimer laser can also be beneficial in treating vitiligo. It is important to consult a dermatologist for proper evaluation and management plan.
