View allI'm really worried after a recent experience. I had sex with a prostitute, the condom broke, and I don't know her STD status. About a week later, I noticed genital warts. I've been using Monolox antibiotics, Flonida cream, and Supirocin ointment daily. Even though Flonida is meant to be used twice a week, I started using it daily after two weeks. Now, after three weeks, I see more swelling and redness around the opening of my penis. Could this be an STD, or maybe it's because of how the Flonida cream is affecting my skin? When I apply it, the foreskin touches the tip of my penis. I'm really anxiousis this a sign of herpes? What type of doctor should I consult?
It sounds like the swelling and redness you're experiencing could be related to the use of Flonida cream, especially if it is coming into contact with sensitive areas like the tip of your penis. However, since genital warts and other STDs can present with similar symptoms, I strongly recommend consulting a **dermatologist** or a **venereologist** (specialist in sexually transmitted diseases) for a proper diagnosis and to rule out any concerns like herpes or other infections. It's important to get a professional opinion for peace of mind.

I've been really worried because my hair has started falling out a lot again and my crown line is receding. It all kicked off about two years ago, and even though I've been to different doctors, nothing seems to stick. Last year, in August, a doctor in Mumbai prescribed me a bunch of stuff: Capsule hair fix advance 1mg, Finax 1mg tablets, spray Grocapix, lotion Adroanagen, and Foliglo shampoo. After using these for a month, there was improvement, but now the hair fall is back. What should I do next?
According to your history it looks like androgenic alopecia if at all the above medications did work continue them as your Dermatologist advised,and balanced diet with extra protein and adequate sleep will help.

I'm feeling really worried about these pearly penile papules and I'm looking for some advice. Are there any home remedies or treatments you can suggest? Also, do I need any specific medicine to get rid of them?
Pearly penile papules (PPP) are harmless, but for aesthetic concerns, consider consulting a dermatologist for professional advice; some home remedies like tea tree oil, castor oil, and aloe vera gel may help reduce inflammation, but there's limited scientific evidence for their effectiveness; medical treatments like carbon dioxide laser therapy, cryotherapy, or radiosurgery may be recommended by a dermatologist, but over-the-counter (OTC) medicines are not typically advised for PPP removal.
