View allI'm 30 and I've been noticing hair loss from the front of my head, with my hairline really starting to recede. I heard about this hair regrowth medication called Refollium. I'm really curious, though, if it has any side effects, especially since it involves hormone control. Could you shed some light on this for me?
"Refollium" is a hair regrowth supplement that contains biotin, folic acid, and other vitamins and minerals to promote hair growth. It is important to note that individual responses to such supplements can vary. While "Refollium" is generally well-tolerated, some potential side effects may include gastrointestinal discomfort or allergic reactions. It is always recommended to follow the dosage instructions provided on the packaging. If you experience any adverse effects, discontinue use and consult with a healthcare professional.

I'm dealing with a recurring itching issue in my scrotum that's been going on for about three years. I noticed it went away when I used dexoderm cream, but now it's coming back. It's not overwhelming, but it can get pretty uncomfortable at times. What could be causing this, and should I keep using the same cream or try something else?
It sounds like you may be experiencing a recurring fungal infection. I recommend using an antifungal cream like Lotrimin Ultra twice a day for 2 weeks. Additionally, keeping the area clean and dry, wearing loose-fitting underwear, and avoiding irritants like scented soaps can help prevent further irritation.
