So, I'm wondering when it's safe to have sex after having chicken pox? There aren't any new blisters coming up anymore, and the ones I have are drying out. It's been about 5 days since I found out I had it. What's the deal with this?

It's safe to refrain from sexual intercourse for atleast a period of 3-4 weeks to avoid cross infection.

I noticed a red bump on my penis with some white liquid coming out but it doesn't hurt could this be an ingrown hair is it something serious or do I need surgery to fix it

A red bump on the penis with a white liquid discharge, if painless, could be an ingrown hair. Ingrown hairs are usually harmless and will resolve on their own, but if they become infected, they may require medical attention. In most cases, they do not require surgery

I've been using Androanagen tablets for about three years now and also applying Amexidil 5 solution to tackle my hair fall issue. It's been helping, but I'm wondering if I should keep going with it. Is there a risk of having severe side effects if I take Androanagen for too long? Any advice would be appreciated.

Consult a dermatologist to assess the risks and benefits of long-term use of Androanagen and Amexidil, as prolonged use may lead to vitamin and mineral imbalances, hormonal changes, or other side effects
