Question

So, my doctor had prescribed me this medication after I had a fractional laser treatment to help with redness. It's been about two months now, and I'm noticing some redness again. I'm worried if it's okay to start taking these tablets once more, or could that lead to any side effects since the doctor initially gave me 40 tablets? Can I reuse this medication safely?

It is safe to use this medication again if you are experiencing redness after 2 months. It is important to follow your doctor's instructions carefully and complete the full course of treatment. If you have any concerns or experience any side effects, please consult your doctor for further guidance.

Question

I've been noticing tiny pin pricks on my hand nails for the past month and I'm getting worried. Last December, I had a preventive blood test done and it showed I have a folic acid deficiency. Could this be causing the pricks? I'm also on Telsar 40 for my high blood pressure. I spend most of my time working in a corporate office, usually in an air-conditioned room. I'm really curious about what exactly might be causing this. Do you think it's something serious or just related to my deficiency?

Question

I'm really worried because I've had two UTIs recently and during the same time, I've noticed my hair getting thinner and I'm losing quite a bit of it. Is this related? Like, can recurrent UTIs actually cause hair thinning and hair loss? It's really stressing me out, and I'm not sure what's going on.

Question

I've been wondering if there's a link between masturbation, watching porn, and acne. Some stuff I read online says it's a myth, while others mention it could increase androgen levels, leading to acne. Could you clarify this for me? I'm really curious and a bit worried about whether this is something I should be concerned about.
