Question 1

I've been dealing with a skin issue for about 3 months now. I was using a betamethasone cream on my face, but then I noticed it started turning my face redder and redder. My doctor mentioned I was using a really strong steroid cream on my face, and now I'm not sure how to fix this. My cheeks are constantly red, though there's no itching or irritation. When I go outside, it gets even redder. I'm using Desowen lotion and Emodel lotion for cleansing, but I'm really scared about my skin. It's affecting my confidence, and sometimes I don't even want to leave the house. Can you give me some advice on what I should do?

Accepted Answer

It sounds like you are experiencing redness on your face due to the prolonged use of a high-potency steroid cream. To help improve the redness and restore your skin's health, I recommend the following:  Discontinue the use of betamethasone cream immediately, as advised by your doctor. Continue using Desowen lotion as prescribed. This contains desonide, a mild corticosteroid that can help reduce inflammation and redness. For cleansing, continue using Emodel lotion. Make sure to use a gentle cleanser that is suitable for sensitive skin. Consider using a moisturizer with ingredients like ceramides or hyaluronic acid to help repair your skin barrier and improve hydration. Avoid direct sun exposure and always use a broad-spectrum sunscreen with at least SPF 30 when going outside to prevent further damage from UV rays.

Question 2

I've noticed that the head of my penis has been affected by what looks like a fungus. There are tiny white dots on it, and the top skin seems to be slit or cut with small cuts. It's got me worried. What could be causing this and what should I do?

Accepted Answer

See a specialist for accurate diagnosis and targeted treatment.

Question 3

I've been dealing with the early stages of frontal male pattern baldness, and my dermatologist suggested a few treatments like Finpecia tablets, Keraglo men, F Clin shampoo, and Minopep solution. I've started with the first three and have complemented them with a nutrient-rich diet including sea cod liver oil, eggs, carrots, tomatoes, spinach, and green tea. Thankfully, I've started seeing improvements, like less hair fall and thicker hair. But I'm feeling a bit anxious about using Minopep solution. I've heard that once you start using minoxidil products, you have to keep using them indefinitely. Is that really the case? And does sticking to a good diet really make a difference for hair health?

Accepted Answer

Definitely balanced diet and sound sleep with adequate physical activity would help in having healthy hair,and you can use Minoxidil solution no need to worry about using it for long periods, you can stop using it when you are satisfied with your hair.

I'm really worried about these rashes on my hands and legs. The ones on my hands are between my elbow and shoulder, and they kind of look like pimples, but the ones on my legs are circular. Plus, there's so much itching going on. What could this be, and how should I treat it?
