Question

I've noticed that the head of my penis has been affected by what looks like a fungus. There are tiny white dots on it, and the top skin seems to be slit or cut with small cuts. It's got me worried. What could be causing this and what should I do?

Question

I've been dealing with hair fall for around 4 years now. A dermatologist suggested I use minoxidil, first in 2%, then 5%. Initially, I wasn't told that I'd need to use it for a lifetime. My hair fall stopped, and I got some growth back, but a year ago, a friend mentioned that minoxidil could have side effects with long-term use. So, I stopped it, and my hair fall came back worse than before. My hair, especially in the front and on the crown, got really thin. I've started using minoxidil 5% again. Is there a chance my hair can grow back? Is it okay to stop and then start using minoxidil again? Are there any long-term side effects of using minoxidil for an extended period? Can I safely keep using minoxidil 5%?

Question

I'm concerned about taking 2 Syntran 200 mg tablets twice daily for a whole week. Is that actually safe? And what side effects should I be aware of with Syntran?
