I've noticed these brown spots on the head of my penis for the last couple of months, and they seem to be getting bigger. They dont itch or hurt, but I'm worried because they darken when I press or scratch them. I did some research and it looks like it might be penile melanosis, but I'm not really sure. It's starting to mess with my head a bit, you know? Health-wise, everything's the same, no issues there. I've been trying Sonaderm NM, but it's not making any difference. Can you tell me what steps I should take next? It's just these two patches on top, but I'm kind of concerned.

No need to worry about your condition that's harmless and usually no complications in future, visit Dermatologist and evaluation is required in order to prevent it from progressing.

Why do I itch at night only?

Itchy skin at night, or nocturnal pruritus, is a common condition typically caused by natural bodily processes, conditions that irritate the skin, or medications. Certain fungal infections also cause night time itching.

I've been seeing a new boil or ulcer on different parts of my body for the last few days. Every morning there's another one, usually on my face, legs, or near my head. What could be causing this, and should I be worried?

I've got rashes all over my body, and while it's getting a bit better, now I've got rashes on my penis. Some skin around the meatus has come off, and I'm really worried. I've been using povidone-iodine powder, Betadine, and taking Megazolid 600 tablets, but I'm not sure if that's helping. What should I do?

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.
