I've been struggling with some hair issues after a bad case of chicken pox back in 2016. About five months post-recovery, my hairline started receding, and my hair seemed to get thinner. By the next year, the temple area receded by an inch and my hair lost strength. I started taking dietary supplements six months ago as per my doctor's advice, and I'm noticing a slight improvement in thickness, but my temple hairline hasn't shown any progress. Can you shed some light on whether my temple hair will eventually grow back, and how long it might take for my hair follicles to recover after chicken pox?

I'm a 29-year-old guy dealing with jock itch, and I'm looking for a good hair removal cream for the area above my penis and on my testicles. I'm especially concerned about finding something without side effects. Is it okay for guys to use women's hair removal creams? Also, I want the hair to grow back in about a month, so I'm not interested in anything permanent. What's readily available at most drugstores that you would recommend?

Blisters on the testicles with itching could be caused by a variety of conditions. Some possible causes are folliculitis, contact dermatitis , genital herpes, ingrown hairs or pseudofolliculitis , fungal infections.Avoid scratching or popping, clean the area gently,wear loose fitting underwear and avoid known irritants. Consult a dermatologist for accurate diagnosis and treatment.

I've been dealing with hair fall ever since I turned 20 and I've tried relying on stuff like minoxidil and procepia. They seem to work only as long as I use them, and stopping them makes the hair fall start up again. But once I got to college, I noticed that after I quit masturbating, my hair seemed to stop falling out. It's been three months since I last did, and my hairs actually looking better. So, I'm kind of curious, does masturbation really cause hair fall?
