I've been really stressed this year and taking a lot of pain meds, like ibuprofen and naproxen. I stopped the naproxen because I thought it might be the problem. About a month and a half ago, I noticed a few tiny red spots on my upper arms. Even after stopping the naproxen, the spots are still there, and I think there are more now. I had a CBC done when I first noticed them and the platelets were normal, but all the stuff I read online is just really scary. I'm freaking out a bit. What could be causing these spots?

I'm noticing some yellow pimples on my testicles. There's no pain, but it's making me a bit anxious. Can you tell me what this could be? Should I be concerned?

The yellow pimples on your testicles are likely Fordyce spots, sebaceous cysts, or epididymal cysts, which are usually harmless and painless; however, to rule out other conditions like folliculitis, balanitis, or a sexually transmitted infection, consult a urologist

Is there any real medical evidence that using onion juice can help with hair growth? If so, how should I apply it and in what form? I've been losing hair, particularly from the crown and have a receding hairline. I tried minoxidil and multivitamins, but they haven't really worked. What else can I do?

There is some evidence to suggest that onion juice may help enhance hair growth due to its sulfur content which may improve blood circulation to the hair follicles. You can apply onion juice directly to your scalp, leave it on for about 30 minutes, and then wash it off with a mild shampoo. You can do this 1-2 times a week. However, please note that individual results may vary and it may take some time to see any noticeable effects. You can also consider using a hair growth shampoo containing minoxidil.
