View allI've noticed for about a month now that the underside of my penis seems to be a bit lighter in color compared to the rest. There's also this itchiness that feels really good to scratch, but I'm not sure if that's a bad sign or not. Any idea what might be going on and what I should do about it?
That could be fungal infcetion,visit dermatologist for appropriate treatmen,personal hygiene is more important for a better result.

Mujhe 2 saal ho gaye skinlite cream ke side effects se paresan hun. Mere face par bilkul glow nahi ho raha. Maine doctor ko dikhaya, unhone mujhe bahut saari creams aur vitamins diye, lekin ab tak kuch asar nahi dikha. Aap mujhe bata sakte hain ki main aur kya kar sakti hu?
Skinlite cream ke long-term use ke karan pigmentation ke changes ho sakte hain, jo aapki twacha par glow khone ka karan ban sakte hain. Aapka treatment chal raha hai aur yeh samajhne ki koshish ho rahi hain ki aapko aur asar kaise mil sakta hai. Aayein kuch suggestions dekhein jo madadgar ho sakte hain: Sun Protection: Sunscreen ka istemal zaroori hai, jo aapki skin ko UV radiation se protect karega aur pigmentation ko aur badhne se rokega. SPF 30 ya usse zyada wala sunscreen din mein lagana chahiye. Gentle Skincare Routine: Cleansing: Gentle, sulfate-free cleanser ka istemal karein jo aapki twacha ko rough ya dry nahi kare. Moisturizer: Twacha ko achi tarah se moisturize karna mahatvapurn hai. Non-comedogenic moisturizer use karein jo aapki twacha ke doosh ko band na kare. Hydration and Nutrition: Pani peena: Rozana khoob pani piyein. Yeh aapki skin ko naturally hydrate aur rejuvenate karne mein madad karta hai. Balanced Diet: Antioxidant-rich foods jaise ki fruits (berries, oranges) aur vegetables (spinach, broccoli) se nutritionally balanced khana khayein. Regular Exfoliation: Mahine me ek ya do baar gentle exfoliation se dead skin cells ko hatayein. Isse nayi aur healthy skin surface par aa sakti hai. Rest and Stress Management: Achha neend: Kam se kam 7-8 ghante soyein taki twacha naturally repair ho sake. Stress management techniques: Meditation aur yoga jaise techniques se stress ko kam karein, jo glow aur twacha ki overall health ko behtar karega. Follow-up with Dermatologist: Aapka doctor kisi new treatment plan ke liye dermatologist ke consultation ki salah de sakta hai.

Is minoxidil something that's a permanent fix for hair loss, or does it only work while you're using it? I'm a bit concerned about having to apply it indefinitely. Plus, I've been wondering if yoga might help with male pattern baldness. If it does, how long should I stick with it to see any results? By the way, I've noticed Dr. M.K Aggarwal tends to give the same advice for hair loss issues, so I'm hoping for a fresh perspective.
Minoxidil is not a permanent cure for male pattern baldness. It is effective in promoting hair growth as long as it is being applied regularly. One popular brand of minoxidil is Rogaine. Yoga alone is not a proven cure for male pattern baldness. While stress reduction techniques like yoga may help improve overall health and potentially reduce hair loss caused by stress, it is not a guaranteed cure for male pattern baldness. It is recommended to continue practicing yoga as part of a healthy lifestyle. For male pattern baldness treatment, you can consider using minoxidil as mentioned earlier.
