I've noticed some purple dots on the head of my penis and the skin is also really dry. The foreskin doesn't seem smooth at all. What could be causing this, and is there anything I should do about it? I'm getting a bit worried.

It sounds like you may be experiencing symptoms of irritation or an infection, possibly related to dry skin or a dermatological condition. I recommend seeing a healthcare provider for an examination to rule out any underlying issues such as balanitis or other skin conditions. In the meantime, keeping the area clean and moisturized may help, but it's best to get a professional evaluation.

View allI'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.

I've noticed these small, cutting marks and some dryness on my penis foreskin over the past 5 days. It kind of looks like the skin is cracking. I haven't had any sexual intercourse for the last 2 months, so I'm a bit confused about what's causing it. I've tried using folic acid but it doesn't seem to be working. Do you have any idea what might be going on and what treatment I should try?
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.
