I've got rashes all over my body, and while it's getting a bit better, now I've got rashes on my penis. Some skin around the meatus has come off, and I'm really worried. I've been using povidone-iodine powder, Betadine, and taking Megazolid 600 tablets, but I'm not sure if that's helping. What should I do?

This could be fungal infection u need to evaluate with your Dermatologist and get appropriate treatment with oral antifungal medications and topical lotions,once the infection is resolved your hair fall would come down,I suggest you not to use minoxidil with active fungal infection,above this your personal hygiene care is more important.

I've noticed that my lips have gotten darker because of some medication side effects, and I'm really worried about it. I used to have naturally red lips, and I'm considering laser treatments to lighten them. Could you help me understand if this is a good option or if there are any other treatments I should look into?

Laser treatment may help lighten dark lips caused by side effects of medical drugs. In addition to laser treatment, you can also consider using a lip lightening cream containing hydroquinone or kojic acid. It is important to protect your lips from sun exposure by using a lip balm with SPF. Consult a dermatologist for proper evaluation and treatment plan.

I've been dealing with this persistent eczema on my upper lip that only seems to go away when I take Allegra for five days. But as soon as I stop, it comes right back. Is there anything else I can try that might offer a more permanent solution? I'm really worried it won't improve long-term, and I'm curious why the Allegra works but only temporarily.

You can try using a topical corticosteroid cream like hydrocortisone 1% on the affected area to reduce inflammation and itching. Make sure to follow the recommended dosage for Allegra and consult with your doctor if you have any concerns.
