I'm really worried about the side effects of finax 1mg that I've been prescribed for my hair loss. Can you tell me just how much it might reduce my libido or even cause erectile dysfunction?

The side effects of finax 1mg (Finasteride) on libido and erectile dysfunction are uncommon. Less than 2% of men may experience a decrease in libido, and even fewer may experience erectile dysfunction. These side effects are usually reversible upon discontinuation of the medication. It is important to follow the prescribed dosage regimen to minimize the risk of experiencing these side effects.

I'm dealing with the beginning stages of hair loss and my crown's getting more noticeable. I've had some serious dandruff and itching on my scalp too, and I tried this keraglo ad shampoo that worked wonders, but it made my hair super dry for a good 34 days. I saw a dermatologist at DHI, and they said I should take keraglo. But then I checked with another dermatologist who recommended using topical minoxidil with finasteride. From what I've read online, this combo seems to show good results pretty quickly, but the effects fade if you stop using them, and they aren't really supplements for deficiencies. I'm wondering if its okay to keep using keraglo or becosules while I'm on this combo. Could there be side effects if I use keraglo men with them? And is keraglo Ad shampoo safe to use over a long period?

keraglo tablet is advised, u can continue shampoo also.

I'm starting to notice a lot of grey hairs popping up on my head and I'm a bit worried. I saw a dermatologist who gave me some scalp lotions and oral medicine, and also suggested I eat more dates. I'm curious, what's causing this sudden change? Is there a way to get my hair back to normal? Would love some advice on what to do next.

I'm thinking about using Faiza skin lightening cream and I'm wondering if it's okay to apply it every night before bed. Is it safe to do that, and will it really make my skin glow in just a week? I'm a bit concerned about any potential side effects.

Contains hydroquinone, which is commonly used to lighten dark patches of skin. However, using it every night can lead to skin irritation, redness, and even paradoxical darkening of the skin. It is not recommended to use skin lightening creams excessively as they can have harmful effects on the skin. It is important to follow the instructions provided by the manufacturer and consult a dermatologist for proper guidance.
