I've been seeing this vertical brown line on my thumb for a few months now. Should I get it checked out?

Can using baby shampoo like Johnson & Johnson actually lead to more hair fall for adults? I've been using it and noticed my hair shedding a lot more than usual. Is it possible that baby shampoo isn't good for adult hair, or is there something else causing this? Would love some insights on whether I should switch shampoos or if there's another underlying reason for the hair fall.

Baby shampoo is generally mild and gentle, but it may not provide enough nourishment for adult hair. In some cases, using baby shampoo can lead to increased hair fall in adults. I recommend switching to a shampoo specifically designed for adult hair, such as **Pantene Pro-V** or **Head & Shoulders**, and make sure to use a conditioner as well. Additionally, consider using a hair serum or oil to help strengthen your hair and reduce hair fall.

I've woken up the past two mornings with these red, itchy bumps on the right side of my neck and right hand, kind of like insect bites. They're nowhere else on my body. I stopped using a fan while sleeping recently. Could these be mosquito bites or something else? What should I use to treat them?

I'm really worried about some cuts and peeling skin on my penis. I had been using clobeta gm for a rash, but it started peeling and now the skin feels really thin. After a morning erection, the skin actually got tiny cuts. My doctor prescribed me lulimac cream, HTRZ, ATARAX Cap, and some antibiotics. The cuts aren't healing yet, and there's a light yellow-white fluid and some yellow stuff around the cuts. Do you think this is an infection? The doctor mentioned it might take 23 days to heal. Im feeling really anxious about it. Any advice on what to do while I wait?
