Question

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?

Question

I'm dealing with this issue where I've got these white pus-filled bumps on my face, and they usually come in clusters. They're not just regular pimples but are more like pus-filled lesions, and some can be pretty painful. I did a bit of research, and it seems like it might be caused by staph bacteria. I had this same problem last year and was prescribed Minoz OD and Microdox, which cleared it up back then. Really need some advice now on how I can tackle this again. Any suggestions on what I should do?
