I've developed some rashes on my hips that resemble an infection and they're really itchy. I tried using itch guard but it didn't help. I'm quite concerned about it. Could you please advise me on what to do next?

Sounds like you may have a fungal infection. I recommend using an antifungal cream like Clotrimazole 1% cream. Apply a thin layer to the affected area twice a day for 2 weeks. Additionally, you can take an oral antihistamine like Cetirizine 10mg once daily to help with the itching. Make sure to keep the area clean and dry, and wear loose-fitting clothing. If the rash does not improve or worsens, please follow up with a healthcare provider.

I'm a 21-year-old male and I've noticed something weird lately. When I used to masturbate, I could really feel the sensation around my penis, but now it seems like the sensitivity has decreased and I'm not enjoying it the same way. Is this something I should be worried about? If it is, do you have any suggestions on what I can do?

educed penis sensitivity can be a concern. Here are some possible reasons and suggestions: *Possible Reasons* 1. *Over-masturbation*: Frequent masturbation can lead to desensitization. 2. *Poor masturbation technique*: Aggressive or rough handling can cause nerve damage. 3. *Circumcision or foreskin issues*: Circumcision, foreskin tightness, or foreskin irritation can reduce sensitivity. 4. *Neurological issues*: Conditions like neuropathy, diabetes, or multiple sclerosis can affect nerve sensitivity. 5. *Psychological factors*: Stress, anxiety, or performance anxiety can contribute to reduced sensitivity. *Measures to Improve Sensitivity* 1. *Take breaks from masturbation*: Give your penis time to recover and regain sensitivity. 2. *Practice gentle masturbation techniques*: Use lubricants and gentle strokes to reduce friction and irritation. 3. *Forearm exercises*: Strengthen your forearm muscles to improve blood flow and sensitivity. 4. *Sensate focus exercises*: Practice mindfulness and focus on sensations during masturbation to increase awareness and sensitivity.

Can hair grow back after Balding?

It depends. If a follicle has closed, disappeared, scarred, or not generated a new hair in years, then a new hair wouldn't be able to grow

I'm really struggling with an issue that's been bothering me for the last six months. I've got this persistent itch in the area below my buttocks, and I've tried using Dermiford cream and Btex, but nothing seems to work. The itch just keeps coming back. I even tried a home remedy with tulsi leaves, but that didn't help either. Could you please offer me some guidance on what to do?

Try an antifungal cream like Clotrimazole. Additionally, you can take an oral antihistamine like Cetirizine to help with the itching. Make sure to keep the area clean and dry, and avoid tight clothing. If the symptoms persist, it would be best to consult a dermatologist for further evaluation and management.
