View allI've had this dry whitish patch on the shaft of my penis for about six months now, and it's got me a bit worried. The skin on that patch is kinda wrinkly, and when I wet it with water or oil, it appears to go back to normal, but it still seems a bit lighter than the rest of the skin. Should I be concerned about this? What might be causing it, and is there anything I can do to treat or improve it?
The symptoms you described, including a dry, whitish patch with wrinkly skin on the penis shaft that normalizes with moisture, could be indicative of vitiligo, eczema, or lichen sclerosus; consult a dermatologist

I'm using minoxidil once a day for my hair and I'm wondering how often I should be shampooing. Also, could you suggest which type of shampoo would be best to use with this treatment?
If you are using minoxidil once a day daily, it is recommended to shampoo your hair at least 2-3 times a week. You can use a mild shampoo that is gentle on your scalp and hair, such as Nizoral shampoo. Make sure to follow the instructions on the shampoo bottle for best results.

I'm really worried because I've been dealing with pimples for the past four months and nothing seems to help. I've been using Acnesol gel for a month now, but it hasn't made a difference. What should I do?
