I'm a 31-year-old guy dealing with male hereditary baldness. My doctor prescribed Finax for it, but I'm a bit uncertain about which brand of 1 mg Finax tablets would be the best choice. Any advice would be really helpful!

There are many good brands of Finasteride that can be helpful for androgenetic alopecia. Finax, Finast, Finara, Finalo, and Fincar are all commonly used brands.

I've been struggling with a fungal infection on my face and body for a while now, and I've tried so many treatments, but none of them seem to really work.

My 15-day-old baby has developed a rash on her face, and I'm concerned about whether it's safe to use the Dermadew lotion there. We had a similar rash on her neck before, and our doctor recommended Dermadew, which seemed to help clear it up. Is it okay to use it on her face too? Also, I'm curious about what might be causing these rashes on her skin. Any idea what could be going on?

Yes, you can use dermadew lotion on your baby's face for the rash. The rash on your baby's skin could be due to various reasons such as irritation from clothing, heat, drooling, or a reaction to skincare products. Dermadew lotion contains ingredients like Aloe Vera, Olive Oil, and Almond Oil which help in soothing and moisturizing the skin. You can apply a thin layer of dermadew lotion on the affected areas of your baby's face after gently cleansing the skin. If the rash persists or worsens, it is advisable to consult with your pediatrician for further evaluation and management.

I've been to the dermatologist yesterday and she prescribed me a number of medications. I took them this morning, but then I started experiencing loose motions. I took HHAZI 500 MG, BECOSULE, and ALECLOZ. Is this normal? Should I be concerned or do I need to do anything about it?
