I've been dealing with some intense redness on my face after using skinlite cream for a couple of days. My dermatologist suggested momivate cream which has 0.1% mometasone furoate. Is it okay to leave this cream on overnight? I'm also worried because my skin is really oily and prone to acne. Could using this cream cause more acne? Would really appreciate your advice.
Continue all the medications as advised by the dermatologist.

I recently visited a dermatologist because I'm experiencing hair fall. They prescribed me these dutamax 0.5mg tablets, and I'm a bit concerned. Are these safe to use, and do they have any side effects I should know about? I came across something that mentioned it might change libido, and that worries me. Can you give me some insight into this?
Minoxidil 5. for local application ,once daily for 3-6 weeks is advised, tab finasteride 5 mg once daily for 3-6 weeks is advised to the patient.
