I've had this red blotch on my chest for a couple of years now, and it's not going away; it just keeps getting bigger. Now I'm seeing even more red blotches popping up. What could be causing this, and should I be worried?

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 got this boil on my scrotum, and I'm not sure what to do about it. Could you recommend any medicine or treatment for this? I'm a bit worried and would appreciate some guidance.
I recommend using an antibiotic ointment like Neosporin to help prevent infection and promote healing. Additionally, you can take an over-the-counter pain reliever like ibuprofen to help with any pain or discomfort. Make sure to keep the area clean and dry. If the boil does not improve or gets worse, please consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation and treatment.

I'm having a puzhuvettu issue with both my head and beard that's been really bothering me for the past three months. Can you give me some advice on what I should do to fix this problem?
It sounds like you may be experiencing a fungal infection such as ringworm. I recommend using an antifungal cream like Clotrimazole 1% twice daily on the affected areas for 2-4 weeks. Additionally, you can take oral antifungal medication like Terbinafine 250mg once daily for 2-4 weeks to help clear up the infection. Make sure to keep the affected areas clean and dry to prevent further spread of the infection.
