Question 1

I've recently noticed some changes around the head of my penis. Last month, I had a shiny rash that went away on its own, but the head stayed red. There are also these pink papules on the penis ring, and my foreskin has been really sticky with some white stuff inside. I wash with soap every day, but now the skin on the head has become erosive and starts peeling. Im also using coconut oil, but now even the tip is peeling. What's strange is that it doesn't itch or hurt, and theres no sore or lesion. What could be going on?

Accepted Answer

Based on your symptoms, it's possible that you experienced a self-limiting condition, such as:

1. Irritant contact dermatitis (reaction to soap)
2. Balanitis (inflammation of the penis head)
3. Posthitis (inflammation of the foreskin)

To promote healing and prevent future occurrences:

1. Discontinue using harsh soaps; switch to gentle, fragrance-free cleansers.
2. Apply coconut oil or a topical emollient to soothe the skin.
3. Avoid excessive washing or rubbing.
4. Consider consulting a dermatologist or urologist for proper evaluation and guidance.

In the meantime, maintain good genital hygiene:

1. Clean the area with lukewarm water and a mild cleanser.
2. Pat dry; avoid rubbing.
3. Apply coconut oil or a topical emollient to keep the skin moisturized.

Question 2

I've been dealing with some really bad dandruff lately. It's not just in my scalp but the whole nose area too, which has turned red, hard, and dry. The scales that come off are either white or yellowish, and they seem kind of oily. Plus, I've got these painful boils on my nose that just won't go away. And there's a lot of itching and hairfall. I'm really worried about all thiswhat could be causing it, and how can I get some relief?

Question 3

I'm struggling with hair loss and my PRP treatment doesn't seem to be working. It's really getting me down because I've spent a lot of money, and I'm still losing hair, especially at the front. I'm desperately looking for effective suggestions so I can regain my confidence. Any advice would be really appreciated.

Accepted Answer

Only prp will not work. You are suffering from androgenic alopecia which is also called as pattern baldness. The hairs start reducing in density at the crown (top) and also the hairline starts refeeding  from the front. This is usually progressive throughout life unless treated. This may also be accompanied by severe dandruff. The FDA approved treatment for this condition is a lotion and tablets. There is no other alternative. No oil or cream will magically work because the hairs are getting miniaturised  and eventually disappearing due to the hormonal effects on the hair roots. consult dermatologist
