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've been dealing with some pretty bad acne and breakouts on my face, shoulders, and back since I had chickenpox about three years ago. Before that, I never really had any issues with acne, so I'm super frustrated. I went to a bunch of doctors and tried different creams and tablets, but nothing seems to work. It's been a few years now, and every time one breakout heals, another one pops up. Could this be connected to the way the chickenpox was treated back then, or is there something else going on? I'm really worried because my face is a mess right now and I'm not sure what else to do. Any advice or solutions for dealing with acne after chickenpox?

Question

I've been dealing with hair fall and my doctor mentioned Follihair. I'm curious if there's a more budget-friendly option like Supradyne or Zincovit that might work just as well. Also, can I opt for any brand of Minoxidil 5? I'm a 23-year-old guy and would really appreciate your advice!

Question

I'm noticing these weird rashes popping up on my chest and back. They have a round shape and seem scaly in the middle. There's a bit of a reddish tint, and my skin is actually peeling from these spots. I'm really worried about what kind of infection this might be. Could you tell me more about it and suggest any medications I should consider?
