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 recently had a PET CT Scan with FDG and Contrast, and I've noticed red itchy rashes all over my body the next day. Could this be an allergic reaction to the nuclear medicine or contrast used for the scan? Any advice on how to treat these rashes would be really appreciated. I had the scan two days ago.
