I've been dealing with acne and pimples all over my face and back for a few years now. I've tried using Clinsol, but it hasn't really helped, and my skin is still super itchy. Could you suggest any creams or medicines that might work better for me?

Question

I'm a 28-year-old guy dealing with male pattern baldness. I went to see a dermatologist, and they suggested I try Minoxidil, Finasteride 1mg, and Keraglo AD. After using Finasteride for about a month, I've noticed some side effects like a drop in libido and more watery semen. I decided to stop taking Finasteride because of this. Is there another way to control my hair loss or another medication that can help block DHT and maybe even encourage hair growth? Would really appreciate your advice.

Question

I'm pretty worried because I've had this small lump in my groin for about 6 weeks now. Initially, a general surgeon thought it was just a local infection and suggested applying follicilin, which I did for 5 weeks, but the lump didn't reduce in size. Then I saw another doctor who diagnosed it as tinea cruris fungal infection and prescribed Forcan 150 and quadriderm. He mentioned it should heal in 5 days, but it's been 5 days and there's no change. I'm concerned about why it's not healing. Do you think I need a different treatment or should I consult yet another doctor for a second opinion?
