I'm experiencing a white beard issue, and it's quite concerning. I first noticed a couple of white hairs about two years ago, but now I'm dealing with over 40 or 50 on my face. Is there anything specific that's causing this, and how can I manage or prevent it from getting worse?

I'm dealing with some sores on my penis and scrotum that started about a week ago, and there's a lot of itchiness too. Can you help me figure out what's going on?

You may be experiencing symptoms of a fungal infection. I recommend using an antifungal cream such as Clotrimazole (brand name Lotrimin) twice a day on the affected areas. Additionally, you can take an oral antifungal medication such as Fluconazole (brand name Diflucan) 150mg as a single dose. Make sure to keep the area clean and dry to help with healing.
