I've been really worried about something and could use some advice. During my teenage years, I used to dry masturbate a lot and often used soap as a lubricant since it was always available in the bathroom. Now, the skin on the head of my penis has become extremely dry. I haven't had any intercourse, but I constantly have to apply coconut oil and Vaseline several times a day to avoid it getting too dry. Also, I've noticed that I need to wait a bit before I can start peeing. Is there anything I can do to fully get rid of this issue?

I'm currently on tretiva 20mg for my acne and I've been drinking milk with turmeric powder, something I've done for the past few days. I'm worried because I've heard that vitamin A is contraindicated when taking tretiva. Can I continue with my turmeric milk while on this medication?

No problem you can have your regular diet that doesnot affect its interaction.

I'm really concerned because I've been losing hair from my scalp, body, and even my public hair for the past eight months. It all seemed to start when I was diagnosed with acid reflux and began taking the medication the doctor prescribed. I only took them for two days before I noticed the hair loss. On top of that, I've been dealing with dandruff for the last five years. Could this hair loss be related to the meds I was taking or maybe the dandruff, scalp psoriasis, or even a deficiency or something else entirely? The medicines I was prescribed were Picotex syrup, Tricaine MPS gel, Orypan DSR, Arcalion tab, Orycobal cap, and Biopride cap. Any idea what's going on?
