I've noticed these small red bumps on my scrotum and penis after trimming, and they're really itchy. I'm really worried about what might be causing this. Are these bumps something I can pass on to someone else? What should I do?

Can I use Emolene cream as my daily moisturizer? I've got super sensitive skin, and even natural products seem to irritate it. Also, is it okay to put sunscreen on top of the Emolene cream? Would love some advice on this.

SPF 3O is advised to the patient.

I've been dealing with some itching and dry cuts behind my ears. It's really weird because they seem to appear and disappear after a few days, but when they're there, they're super painful. Any idea what could be causing this or how I can make it stop?

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'm really concerned about something that's been going on for over a year now. I've been having sores for about 10 days each time but after using medicines like clarinova 500, they go away for a bit and then come back. Nothing seems to be working long-term. I'm also noticing some hair fall from the front lately. I'm worried if these issues, particularly the sores, might be related to excessive masturbation. Could you provide some guidance on what might be causing this and what I should do next?
