I'm 24 and I'm really worried about my hair loss. In just a couple of years, my hairline has gone back a lot, and I can easily see my scalp now, especially at the back of my head. Ive been trying out stuff like Castor oil, but it doesnt seem to be helping much. Should I consider getting a hair transplant at this age, or is it better to wait? Also, should I keep my hair short in the meantime? Would love your advice on this!

I'm dealing with a receding hairline and was advised to take Saw Palmetto with beta Sitosterol. I've heard that beta Sitosterol might cause sexual side effects, like loss of libido or erectile dysfunction. Is that true? And if it does cause these issues, will they go away once I stop taking the medication?

Beta sitosterol is a plant sterol that is commonly found in saw palmetto extract. While rare, some individuals may experience sexual side effects such as loss of libido or erectile dysfunction while taking beta sitosterol. If you are experiencing these side effects, it is advisable to consult with your healthcare provider. They may recommend adjusting the dosage or discontinuing the medication. In most cases, once the medication is stopped, the sexual problems should resolve.

I've been dealing with this fungal skin issue on my butt crack, and it's really bothering me. I'm using terbinafin cream, but I'm wondering if there's another ointment I should try. Do you think taking tablets would help as well? I'd appreciate any advice you might have.

For fungal skin conditions like the one you have described, in addition to terbinafine cream, you can also apply clotrimazole cream twice a day to the affected area. It is important to keep the area clean and dry to prevent further fungal growth. As for oral tablets, you can consider taking fluconazole 150mg once a week for 2-4 weeks, but it is best to consult with a healthcare professional before starting any oral antifungal medication. Make sure to wear loose-fitting cotton underwear and avoid tight clothing to promote air circulation.
