Question 1

Ive been really concerned because my brothers dealing with Alopecia and hes on a bunch of steroids like Aretha 50mg and Betnesol fort 1mg. Im just worried - could taking all these steroids affect his organs or his sperm count in any way?

Accepted Answer

no need to worry ,low dose of steroids wont affect any organ,use those prescribed drugs for a period prescribed by your doctor and there is no such relation of these drugs on sperm count.

Question 2

I recently had unprotected sex during my period, and a couple of days later, I noticed red rashes on the head of my penis with a slight itching sensation. Should I be worried about these symptoms, and what could be causing them?

Accepted Answer

The symptoms you are experiencing could be due to a possible infection. I recommend using an antifungal cream like Clotrimazole 1% cream. Apply a thin layer of the cream on the affected area twice a day for about 1-2 weeks. Additionally, you can take an oral antifungal medication like Fluconazole 150mg as a single dose. It is important to maintain good hygiene and avoid any sexual activity until the symptoms resolve completely. If the symptoms persist or worsen, it is advisable to consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation and management.

Question 3

I'm a 31-year-old who's been dealing with some skin issues, and I'd love some insight. A few weeks ago, I started experiencing itching around my penile area and scrotum, especially on my thighs. The skin there turned darker and dry, with white patches appearing because I couldn't stop scratching. I tried using CandidB cream regularly, and it helped initially, but then I noticed a bump on my foreskin, which disappeared after applying the cream. Now, Ive cut down the CandidB to about three times a week, but my main concern is that my foreskin is super dry, slightly inflamed, and seems really thin. This just started a day ago, after having sex with my wife. I've tried using coconut oil and even Vico turmeric, but it hasn't improved. I'm also diabetic, which might be a factor. Could you give me some advice on what might be going on and what I should do next?

Accepted Answer

It sounds like you may be experiencing a fungal infection in the genital area, which is common in individuals with diabetes. I recommend you stop using candid-b cream as it may be contributing to the thinning of the skin. Instead, you can try an antifungal cream like Clotrimazole (Canesten) twice a day for 2 weeks. Additionally, keep the area clean and dry, wear loose-fitting underwear made of cotton, and avoid any irritants like scented soaps or lotions. Since you are diabetic, it's important to keep your blood sugar levels under control as high blood sugar can contribute to fungal infections. Make sure to monitor your blood sugar regularly and follow your diabetic management plan.

Hey, I've been using terbinaforce plus cream on my upper thighs for the last two weeks and the infection seems to have cleared up about a week ago. Should I keep using it even though it looks like it's cured? Just wondering what's best to do here.

It is not necessary to continue applying Terbinaforce plus cream if the infection has already been cured for a week. You can stop using the cream now.
