Question

I recently had a PET CT Scan with FDG and Contrast, and I've noticed red itchy rashes all over my body the next day. Could this be an allergic reaction to the nuclear medicine or contrast used for the scan? Any advice on how to treat these rashes would be really appreciated. I had the scan two days ago.

Question

I've been using Panderm cream on my face for like 34 years, and at first, I was really happy because it made my face lighter. But now I'm hearing it's got steroids in it. If I stop using it for even just a couple of days, my face gets dark, itchy, and rashy. Plus, I started noticing more hair on my face after using it. I really want to stop using the cream and get rid of these issues, but I've read that your face might look worse if you stop after using it long term. I'm honestly a bit scared. What should I do?

Question

I've been struggling with an addiction to masturbation for the past 5 years and just can't seem to quit. I've tried multiple times, but my longest streak without it is only 10 days. I'm really at a loss here and wondering if there are any medications that could help me break this habit once and for all. Any advice?
