Hey, I'm a bit concerned and curious about using hair removal cream for my private areas. I'm thinking about trying the Veet men's hair removal cream for my testicles and penis. Is it safe to use for these areas? Also, how long does it usually take for the hair to grow back after using this? If there are any other creams specifically for men that you'd recommend for these sensitive areas, and which are easy to find at medical stores, that would be great to know too.

Yes you can use it ,and regrowth might take approximately 1 week

I'm really concerned because I have this red rash on my side, right above my waist. It started off small but has grown bigger. When I looked into it, the symptoms kind of match hives, but it also looks like ringworm. The weird part is that it doesnt really itch. Could this be something serious or is it just a rash that will go away on its own? What should I do about it?

That could be P.versicolor infection,maintain personal hygiene,visit dermatologist for appropriate management.

I've been using Virovir 500 for treating my Herpes and it's helped a lot with the infection, but I still have this annoying itching above my left ear and behind my ears. Someone mentioned Sofinox might be a good solution, but I'm a bit worried. Is it safe to use it around the hair without worrying about any side effects, like hair fall? Would appreciate some guidance.

Sofinox cream contains Miconazole which is an antifungal medication. It is safe to apply around the hairs above the ear for itching. Make sure to apply a thin layer and gently massage it into the skin. There should be no significant side effects when used as directed. It is unlikely to cause hair fall later on. Apply it twice a day for 1-2 weeks for best results.
