So, I've been having a bit of an issue. My balls have started itching like crazy, and I'm noticing some dandruff-like white stuff down there. It all started after I used my uncle's machine to trim my hair, and now I'm really worried. What's going on here? Is this something I should be concerned about or do I just need to switch up my grooming routine?

Fungal infection or Ring worm.. when occurs in groin, called as jock itch.. Usually fungal infection is common in moist areas of body like skin folds..It's mostly circular or round in appearance.. May be red or black in colour.. Treatment depending on the type and severity.. Avoid sharing clothes, towels and soap; sweating also increases it..As it has to be differentiated from eczema and infection, its a must to see and confirm the diagnosis for proper treatment..So, please send photos of the affected area for accurate diagnosis and treatment.

View allI'm a bit worried because I've suddenly started experiencing hair fall and noticed there's a white bulb at the end of the hair strands. Is this something I should be concerned about?
Hair fall with a white bulb at the end can be a sign of telogen effluvium, which is often triggered by stress, illness, or hormonal changes. To help with hair fall, you can try using Minoxidil solution 5% once daily on the scalp. Additionally, taking Biotin tablets 10,000 mcg daily can also support hair growth. Make sure to eat a balanced diet rich in vitamins and minerals, and avoid excessive heat styling or harsh hair treatments.

So I'm 19 and I'm Indian, but I'm noticing something odd with my beard. It's got a lot of brown hairs, especially on the chin, even though the hair on my head is black. Also, I'm dealing with rosacea, and my nose is really red because of it. I'm curious, why could my beard be turning brown?
Clinsol gel for local application is advised for 3-6 weeks.
