I've had this painless rash on the head of my penis for the last month that's sometimes itchy. It keeps disappearing and then coming back. About six weeks ago, I had unprotected sex. Could this be a sexually transmitted disease?

It is recommended to get tested for STDs to rule out any infections. In the meantime, you can use an antifungal cream like Clotrimazole 1% twice a day on the affected area for 2 weeks. If the symptoms persist or worsen, please follow up with a healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.

I'm 16 and I'm noticing that I have a mustache and a bit of hair on my chin, but nothing on my cheeks, and my sideburns are pretty small. I'm feeling a bit self-conscious because everyone in my family seems to have a good beard except for one of my uncles. Someone mentioned that shaving every day for 20 days might help me grow a beard. Is that true? I'm really curious if there's anything I can do to help the hair come in, especially on my cheeks.

I'm a 35-year-old woman and I'm wondering if Dermadew cream can be used as an anti-aging treatment. Is it safe and does it actually work for that purpose?

Dermadew cream can be a good hydrating moisturizer, but for targeted anti-aging benefits, you might need a cream that contains other proven active ingredients such as retinol, vitamin C, or peptides. Always patch-test a product first and consider consulting a dermatologist
