I'm a guy in my mid-20s and had a healthy sex life before. I got a hair transplant in February, and my dermatologist recommended I use More F5 solution with topical 5% minoxidil and finasteride. After using it for about 17 days, applying 10 drops once a day on the transplanted area, I started having ED problems. I stopped using it immediately. It's been like 15 days since I stopped, and I might be a bit better, but I'm honestly not sure. My dermatologist then suggested minovera, which is just the topical 5% minoxidil without finasteride, and after only 2 days, I had the same erection issues, using it the same way as before. Now it's been 7 days since I quit minovera, but I'm still having ED issues. I've read reviews where people say they had these side effects even after stopping minoxidil for three months. My dermatologist says it's just temporary and all in my head since the half-life of minoxidil is 24 hours. I'm really convinced it's not just in my mind. Can you help me figure out what's going on?

It sounds like youve experienced some concerning side effects after using minoxidil and finasteride, which can sometimes affect sexual health. While your dermatologist is correct that these effects can be temporary, it's important to address your concerns seriously. I recommend consulting with a urologist or another specialist to explore any underlying issues and to get personalized guidance on managing these symptoms.

View allI've been feeling really weak lately, and my legs and back start to ache if I stand for more than thirty minutes. I also think my immunity might be low. My latest tests say my Vitamin B12 is at 142 and my Vitamin D3 is 13.4. I'm wondering if I should consider getting injections for both. What would you recommend?

I'm 26 and my skin is really dry. I've noticed some wrinkles and nasolabial folds appearing, which seem quite noticeable now. I want to avoid filler injections, so I'm looking for ways to improve my skin with just medicines and external treatments like oils, creams, and moisturizers. I already switched from soap to a Nivea body wash, and from using Clean & Clear facewash to an AHA facewash. Lately, I've been using Aquastop sunscreen. I'm also trying a lemon sugar scrub for my dry skin and wrinkles and then applying a thick layer of castor oil. I've been doing this for about five days. Am I on the right track with this routine? Are there any specific creams, moisturizers, or serums that could help make my skin look more radiant and address these issues?

Is it possible to get fair skin? I've been feeling really down about how I look, and I'm hoping there's a way to improve it. How long does it generally take to see changes? Would really appreciate any advice you can give me.
