I'm really curious about dxn tea tree cream and its effectiveness for treating acne. Is it actually helpful, or is it just another cream that ends up being a waste of money? I've tried other options before and just don't want to be disappointed again. What do you think?

DXN Tea Tree Cream can be useful in treating acne due to its ingredients:

  1. Tea Tree Oil (5%): Antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties help reduce acne.
  2. Aloe Vera: Soothes and calms the skin.

However, individual results may vary. It might not work for everyone, especially for severe acne.

Pros:

  1. Natural ingredients
  2. Affordable
  3. Can help with mild to moderate acne

Cons:

  1. May not be effective for severe acne
  2. Can cause skin irritation or allergic reactions in some individuals

Not a waste of money, but it's essential to:

  1. Use it consistently
  2. Follow a proper skincare routine
  3. Be patient (may take time to see result

I've been having this issue for the past six months where I notice some white patches on the glans of my penis, which come off easily after washing. Theres also a small red spot inside the foreskin with some light itching. I got a VDRL test done and it came back negative. I've been using zoster ointment, but I'm a bit worried. Whenever I have physical relations, sometimes the glans gets a bit red, and the foreskin seems to shrink and tighten. Should I be concerned about this, and is there anything else I should be doing or looking into?

Probable diagnosis is fungal infection. Candid cream for local application is advised for 2 weeks, along with tab levocetrizine 10 mg orally,daily for 5 days is advised to the patient.

I've been on Finasteride Finpecia 1 mg for about four years now, and it's been working great for me. But I've recently started hitting the gym and want to start using whey protein supplements. I'm a bit worried if the whey protein could react or interfere with the Finpecia. Is it safe to use both together? What should I know before I go ahead with it?

Finasteride (Finpecia 1mg) and whey protein supplements are generally considered safe to use together, as they work through different mechanisms and have distinct metabolic pathways. Finasteride is metabolized by the liver and excreted by the kidneys. Whey protein supplements may increase kidney workload, but this is typically only a concern for individuals with pre-existing kidney issues.
