Question 1

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?

Accepted Answer

Minoxidil 5. for local application ,once daily for 3-6 weeks is advised, tab finasteride 5 mg once daily for 3-6 weeks is advised to the patient.

Question 2

I've been struggling with unwanted facial hair along with acne and scars and it's really affecting my confidence. I've heard laser hair removal might help but I'm not sure if it's safe for my skin or if it'll make the acne worse. Can you recommend a good clinic or explain how laser surgery works for these issues? Also, will it help with the scars or do I need separate treatment for that?

Accepted Answer

dermat opinion is advised.

Question 3

I've been dealing with this pitryasis rosea thing since last week. The doctor said it might take a few months to clear up and gave me some mild soap and lotion. But now the first rashes are turning brown and feel bumpy and scaly. It's like I can feel them raised on my skin. They look really bad, and it doesn't seem like they're going away anytime soon. Is this normal? What should I expect, and is there anything else I can do?

Accepted Answer

It is normal for the rash in pityriasis rosea to evolve over time, with the initial rash often becoming darker in color and developing a scaly texture. To help alleviate the symptoms and promote healing, you can consider using a mild corticosteroid cream like Hydrocortisone 1% twice a day on the affected areas. Additionally, taking an antihistamine like Cetirizine 10mg once daily can help with any itching. Make sure to continue using the prescribed mild soap and lotion as well. If the symptoms persist or worsen, consult your doctor for further evaluation and management.

I'm curious if masturbating a lot could increase DHT levels in my body and lead to hair loss. I'm 16 and usually do it about three times a day. Is this something I should be worried about?

No it will not cause hair loss.
