I've been dealing with perioral dermatitis and using Desowen lotion has been really helpful. However, I recently found out I'm pregnant and read somewhere that it's not safe anymore. Are there any non-steroid alternatives to this lotion that I could use during pregnancy? I'm a bit concerned and would love some advice.

Question

I'm a 30-year-old guy and my hair's been thinning out with some mild bald spots showing up. My dermatologist recommended I take Finax 1 Tablet once every day, but I've heard it could have sexual side effects. Could you tell me if these side effects are common or if they might cause problems with family planning in the future? I'm a bit concerned about how it could impact me sexually as time goes on. Would love to hear your thoughts.

Question

I'm thinking about using Skinlite cream for just a week, and I'm a bit worried. Can using it for only seven days cause any harm? Would love your advice.
