I'm really struggling with lice and nits in my hair. I used Mediker shampoo but there are still some left even after one wash. Is it okay to use it more than once a week? How long should I wait between washes if I want to use it again?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
For effective lice and nit removal, Mediker shampoo can be used again after a gap of 7-10 days, as the second application helps kill any newly hatched lice; however, always follow the product instructions and consult a doctor or dermatologist for personalized advice, as overusing the shampoo can lead to scalp irritation and dryness.

View allI'm dealing with some pretty frustrating scalp itching and I'm using a mix of three different medicated shampoos as my doctor recommended. They also prescribed Onabet SD and Onabet lotion. But I'm wonderingis it okay if I start using MINTOP5 on the days when I'm not applying the Onabet lotions? Would that be alright to add into my routine without causing any issues?
Yes, you can use MINTOP 5% on the days when you are not using Onabet lotions. Make sure to apply MINTOP 5% solution to the scalp once a day, preferably in the evening. Remember to wash your hands thoroughly after applying the solution and avoid getting it in your eyes.

I've been dealing with these pus-filled bumps on my upper lip for the past two years. They just keep getting bigger, even when I pop them. They don't look like cold sores or regular pimples, but some do have blackheads. It's concerning because they never go away. What can I do to get rid of them permanently?
It sounds like you may be dealing with a condition called recurrent folliculitis. To treat this, you can try using a topical antibiotic cream like Mupirocin twice daily on the affected areas. In addition, an oral antibiotic like Doxycycline can be prescribed to help clear up the infection. It's important to maintain good hygiene, avoid picking or popping the bumps, and follow up with a dermatologist for further evaluation and management.

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.
