I'm about to start taking isotroin 20mg and I'm feeling really anxious about it. Is this medication actually going to help me, or should I be worried about any dangers?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Isotroin 20mg is a brand name for isotretinoin, which is commonly used to treat severe acne. It is considered helpful in improving acne by reducing oil production and preventing clogged pores. It should be safe for you unless you are known to be allergic to it or experience concerning side effects.

View allI've been dealing with a really itchy scrotum for the past few weeks, and it's driving me crazy. It seems to get worse after I touch it or whenever I sweat, like after sports or working out. I'm not sure if they're connected, but I've noticed the itchiness spreads to my legs, back thighs, and buttocks. Oddly enough, my chest never seems to itch. When I do scratch, the skin gets these raised bumps, but they fade after some time. The scrotum area experiences this too. It's gotten so bad that I've scratched it until it started to sting in the shower. What could be causing this, and how can I stop it?
If the problem persists despite home remedies or worsens, it would be best to consult a healthcare professional or a dermatologist. They may need to perform a skin examination, potentially test for fungal infections or other skin conditions, and provide a more targeted treatment plan. A prescription antifungal or topical steroid treatment might be needed if it's related to a fungal infection or dermatitis.

I'm 26 and currently not married. A doctor gave me a prescription for Finalo tablets and Morre 5 lotion, and I've been hearing about possible side effects from Finalo, especially concerning impotence. I'm curious, if that happens, is it something that can be reversed after I'm done with the treatment?
No need to worry low dose of finasteride would not cause impotency and it's reversible if at all you face issues.

I've been masturbating daily since I was 15, and I've noticed something odd that's got me a bit worried. When I masturbate, my penis tends to soften within about 10 seconds without me even touching it. The thing is, I can easily achieve a full erection, and I also get morning erections every two or three days. I haven't had intercourse in 12 years, so I'm not really sure how things would go when I'm with a partner. Could this be something I should be concerned about?
This could be a sign of erectile dysfunction. It is important to consult with a doctor before starting any medication to ensure it is safe for you.
