I've noticed some tiny red dots, kind of like pimples, on the head of my penis. They itch a little bit. I'm 23 and have never been sexually active, so I'm pretty worried about what this could be. Any idea what's going on?

View allI was diagnosed with Jaundice back in July and it took about a month for me to recover. My doctor mentioned I could eat oily foods once I was better. But even months before the Jaundice, I started losing a lot of hair, and now it's really concerning. My hair used to be thick, but now I've lost about two-thirds of it and what's left is dry and brittle. After the illness, my hemoglobin is 10.8, and the doctor said it'd return to normal eventually, so no meds were suggested. I've moved back to Bangalore and can't ask my original doctor about this hair fall issue. Could Jaundice be causing me to lose my hair? How can I get my hair back to its normal state? Is it safe to take hair fall tablets now, especially with my body still recovering? I'm also noticing that my menstrual days have become painful since my illness, though the cycle's regular. Could all these changes be connected?
Jaundice itself doesn't directly cause balding, but the underlying conditions that led to jaundice, such as liver disease or hemolytic anemia, can contribute to hair loss. Given your history of jaundice and current hair loss, it's essential to consult a doctor, preferably a gastroenterologist or hepatologist, to rule out any underlying liver or blood-related conditions. Regarding hair loss treatment, your doctor may recommend: 1. Iron supplements: Given your low hemoglobin (10.8), iron supplements might help. 2. Vitamin B12 injections: Jaundice can lead to vitamin B12 deficiency, which may contribute to hair loss.
