I've noticed a white patch on the skin of my penis, just under the head, and there are some small bumps that sometimes turn red. It's worrying me a bit because I'm not sure what's causing it. Could you give me some insight into what might be going on? Is this something I should be concerned about?

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.

After I shave, the skin on my face turns dark green in the shaved area. Barbers say my beard is really tough. What can I do about this? I'm looking for some advice.
The dark green discoloration after shaving, known as pseudofolliculitis barbae or razor burn, can be caused by coarse or curly hair, ingrown hairs, or razor burn; to alleviate this issue, try using a sharp razor, shaving in the direction of hair growth, applying a soothing aftershave balm, exfoliating your skin regularly, and considering alternative hair removal methods like trimming or depilatory creams.
