What should I do if I've put Dettol liquid directly on my pennies? I did this last night, applying it on both the outside and inside skin, and now I've got a burning sensation. Can you help me with how to deal with this?

Applying Dettol liquid directly on the penis can cause irritation and a burning sensation on the skin. It is important to wash off the Dettol immediately with plenty of water to minimize further irritation. You can apply a soothing cream containing aloe vera or calamine lotion to help calm the skin and reduce the burning sensation. Additionally, taking an over-the-counter pain reliever such as ibuprofen can help with any discomfort. If the burning sensation persists or worsens, it is advisable to seek medical attention for further evaluation and management.

I've noticed some small white spots on my penis foreskin, and I'm a bit worried about what they might be. I went to see a urologist, and he mentioned that it's not serious but might be related to dermatology. The thing is, it's hard to find a private dermatologist consultation around here. What could these spots be, and how should I go about getting them treated?

The small white spots on your penis foreskin could be a condition called Fordyce spots, which are harmless and do not require treatment. However, if you are concerned or if they are causing discomfort, you can visit a dermatologist for further evaluation. The dermatologist may prescribe a topical treatment such as Retin-A (tretinoin) cream to help reduce the appearance of the spots. It is important to follow the dermatologist's advice for proper management of the condition.

I'm a 26-year-old guy dealing with hair fall, and I've even got bald spots on my scalp. I really want to know how to open up pores on my scalp so my hair can grow back. Are there any treatments or medications that actually work? What's the best option out there, and should I be worried about any major side effects from these treatments?

To open pores on your scalp and promote hair growth, you can consider using minoxidil solution. Apply 1ml of minoxidil solution twice daily directly onto the scalp in the hair loss area. This can help stimulate hair follicles and promote hair growth. Another option is to use finasteride tablets, which can help prevent further hair loss and promote hair regrowth. The usual dosage is 1mg tablet once daily. Both minoxidil and finasteride are commonly used for male pattern baldness and have shown effectiveness in promoting hair growth. Minoxidil solution may cause side effects such as scalp irritation, itching, or dryness. Finasteride may cause sexual side effects such as decreased libido or erectile dysfunction in some individuals. It is important to discuss with your healthcare provider before starting any medication to ensure it is safe and appropriate for you.
