Question

I'm really concerned about a possible connection between the medication I've been taking, Saaz DS, and developing allergies. Recently, I've noticed symptoms that remind me of ringworm, and it's making me anxious. I've been on Saaz DS 1g twice daily for about a year now. Could there be a link, and should I be worried?

Saaz DS (Sulfasalazine) is not typically used to treat allergies or ringworm. It is commonly prescribed for conditions like rheumatoid arthritis and ulcerative colitis. If you are experiencing symptoms of allergies or ringworm, it is best to consult with a healthcare provider for proper evaluation and treatment.

Question

I'm a 26-year-old and currently unmarried, and I've been dealing with some hair fall issues. I went to see a dermatologist about it, and they recommended I take Androanagen tablets for three months, totaling 90 tablets. However, I recently heard that these tablets might lead to male infertility, which has me a bit worried. Could you help me understand if it's safe for me to take Androanagen?

Question

I'm really worried about my hair loss. The crown of my head is almost bald now, but thankfully the rest of my hair seems okay. I'm wondering, is there really a medication out there that can reverse this permanently? And if medication can't cut it, what other steps should I consider taking?

Question

I've got a bump that just popped up on the side of my nose out of nowhere, and it's been hanging around for two weeks. Whenever I try to mess with it, I get this white pus along with some blood from the pores. My skin is super oily and I do get these acne bumps sometimes. I'm wondering what might be going on and how I can get rid of it. Any thoughts?
