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'm noticing some red rashes on the head of my penis that have been there for a few days. I've been cleaning it with lukewarm water and Dettol. Is this something I should be worried about?

The red rashes on your penis head could be a fungal or bacterial infection, allergic reaction, or irritation from using harsh soap like Dettol; discontinue using Dettol and instead clean the area with mild soap and lukewarm water, and consider consulting a dermatologist or urologist for proper evaluation and treatment to rule out conditions like balanitis.

I've been dealing with this hair issue for about two to three months now and I'm taking biotin tablets and using Zycafy M daily. I've been wondering if adding minoxidil would help with hair regrowth. Do you think it would be beneficial to start using it, or should I continue with the current routine? I'm really looking for some advice on the best next steps.

yes you can use minoxidil as an addon but use it as advised by your doctor because there are various concentrations of minoxidil which is decided over severity of hair fall,apart from this consume balanced diet with extra protien for healthy hair.
