I've noticed some scattered black spots near my underarms. They're really itchy and seem to be spreading. It almost looks like these spots are forming beneath the skin. Should I be worried about this? What's going on?

View allI'm experiencing these small cracks on the skin of my penis every few months, which makes it painful and difficult to get an erection or have sex. I've tried using Nizral and Nadoxin creams but haven't seen any improvement. Can you help me understand why this is happening and how I can prevent it?

I'm starting to worry because I've been using minoxidil 5% hair 4 u lotion to treat my balding, and now my scalp is peeling and I have flakes coming out. It's really concerning since these problems only occur in the areas where I apply the minoxidil. I tried ketoconazole but its not helping at all. Is it possible that the minoxidil is causing these side effects? What else can I do to stop the flaking and roughness on my scalp? Would love some advice on this.
It sounds like you may be experiencing a side effect of using minoxidil. To help with the peeling and flaking of the scalp, you can try using a gentle shampoo like Nizoral shampoo containing ketoconazole 2-3 times a week. In addition, you can use a moisturizing scalp lotion like Cetaphil Restoraderm lotion to help soothe the dry and irritated skin. Make sure to apply the minoxidil only to a dry scalp and allow it to fully dry before applying any other products. If the symptoms persist or worsen, please consult your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management."
