I'm struggling with acne on my face, neck, chest, and back. Should I try using candid b cream for it, or would benzoyl peroxide be a better option? I'm really unsure about which one might be more effective.

Im really concerned about my hair and scalp. I've been struggling with this intense itchiness and there are bumps on my scalp. Its so embarrassing because people give me disgusted looks whenever I'm out. Ive seen two different doctors, and they say they can't see anything, but clearly something is going on. There seems to be something on my hair and body that looks like dust particles when I brush my hair. What could this be? Could you please help me understand whats happening?

Minoxidil 5. for local application ,once daily for 3-6 weeks is advised, tab finasteride 5 mg once daily for 3-6 weeks is advised to the patient.

I've been dealing with this fungal dandruff and have been using AF 150mg along with keto B lotion for a few weeks now. It seems like the dandruff's slightly better, but Im really wondering how much longer I should keep taking this medication? Do you think theres a specific time frame for this kind of treatment, or should I just continue until it's fully gone? I don't want to stop too soon and make things worse.

That takes time and needs special care continue the same medication as your doctor adviced and maintain personal hygiene for a better result.

I'm curious about Finax 1mg Tablet for hair loss. I'm worried about the side effects like decreased libido, decreased semen volume, and impotence. Also, if you stop taking the medicine, you might lose the hair you gained. So, what's the point of taking it if you lose your hair when you stop? Does this mean you'd have to keep taking it forever if you don't want to lose hair again?
