Question

I've been noticing some white scaling on the forehead of my penis that keeps coming back, even though I wash it regularly with soap. It's also looking redder than usual, but there's not much itching. I'm having a hard time finding doctors who recognize these symptoms. Could you help me understand what's going on?

A Candida infection, also known as genital thrush, is a common yeast infection that can affect both males and females. In men, thrush affects the head of the penis and the foreskin.A healthcare provider may use a scalpel or tongue depressor to gently scrape some of the skin from the infected area. The sample is then examined under a microscope by a pathologist to identify the fungus.

Question

I'm curious about something I've heard for my husband's hair. Someone mentioned using Morr F5 for hair regrowth, and I'm wondering if it could also help reduce hair fall. Is it mainly just for hair growth, or does it help with both?

Question

I've been struggling with frequent pimples for quite some time now. I started using Lobate GM about four years ago, but the pimples just keep coming back, especially if I try to switch my face wash. Lately, it's been really bad, mostly on my forehead, and I'm not sure what to do. I'm currently in Chennai working for an MNC, and it's becoming pretty frustrating to manage. Can you suggest a complete solution for this ongoing issue? It would be great if you could also recommend any ointments that might suit my skin type.

Question

I've had dark knees and elbows for as long as I can remember, and it's really becoming a hassle, especially when I want to wear skirts, sleeveless tops, or dresses. I'm curious if there's any effective treatment to lighten these dark spots.
